i have RE001's on the front of my car with SK's full kit. Havnt really pushed her yet, but from what im feeling, a nice tire, plenty of wear, plenty of grip. Definately putting them on the rear aswell not the cheapest tire tho!

thats a good price, in perth a person was quoted $300/tyre for 225/40R17.

which i was more than disappointed about seeing as i can get RE01-R in 235/40/17 for $330

Yum, RE-01. Do they sell those in Australia officially?

The local Bridgestone Motorsport dealer in perth sells them.

Anyways i ended up going with the RE001 as i got a set for a good price. And i can say they unbelievably good, i was thinking they would be similar grip level to the G3 (which where my last two sets of tyres) but they are miles ahead in terms of grip.

I was running them on the front for a drift practices and the whole night (2-3hrs) the front end never lost grip and held the cars line.

I am very impressed by the RE001, and can't wait to take them for a grip lap and see what sort of times i can put down :P

Getting a set of these for my car on monday.. Believe it or not it will be cheaper to buy the 235/45 over a 225/45. they are more widely used and are cheaper.. My cousin is NSW area manager at bridgstone and is getting me the tyres cheap, so thats how i know!

RE-01® and RE-001 are different tyres no?

I've used RE-01, pretty damn grippy. Next best thing to a semi I think. They came with a set of rims from Japan.

Also, driven a WRX on RE001, also a awesome tyre but a lil exxy. Very quick response with changes in direction and well planted.

$280 for 215/45/17

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.

      Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
