yup... this year I did it on falken 912's in the dry and managed to give myself a bit of a scare on the fastest bit... recon I was probably just as fast pouring rain on the Nitto's

(bearing in mind that the surface of that road has EXCELLENT water dispersion)

[Sunkist]

This...comparing apples with oranges here. Even on the same cars traction is a totally different story with suspension setup and power delivery, let alone totally different chassis and gear ratios.

oraqnges lol. icwatudidthar

ya even with my power I could spin in 3rd when I had cold streets

semi's fixed that.

yeh if it doesnt sell in say 6 or so months, chances are ill keep the f**ker and keep going.

This... is what I was getting at.....

no it wasn't lol, you out of all people wait for any chance you can to take a dig at someone. It is highly unlikely you would beat around the bush lol

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

While I do enjoy the good ol dig... especially at people with orange cars... I was actually referring to suspension in this instance

[(OO)SKYLINE(OO)]

Lol yeh.

Super streets= shit, do not rate them at all I reckon if I end up keeping the car they'll be coming out

[Birds]

Super streets are good at what they do, there's more to suspension than just springs/shocks...you probably haven't had the whole thing set up by a decent suspension place. Need corner weighting and purposeful alignment...

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

i think we are missing the major point though...

does it rip hektik skids bro?

Lol.

I've been on the nt05 train for ages, nothing but praise for them. Full traction everywhere with 280rwkw, feels good man

[ssxRicho]

S chassis is a bastard for suspension setup. Some run mega kg/mm springs other run soft.

iiirc JET200 run's 6/4 or 5/4 or something, while Revolution run 10/8 or 11/11.

At the end of the day 'traction' is a myth and people will have differing opinions of what 'loosing traction' really is.

You will always be compromising with a crossover tyre. NT05, AD08, RS3, R1R, RSR. All have their upside and downsides.

I'm on a 255 AD08 and when they are warm and up to temperature (their peak) they still slide around like crazy. I'm at a level now and car is at a level know here more tyre is needed / a sticker tyre. This same thing happened 12 months ago when I moved to a 255 on the front. The car and I moved on and pushed the 235 front tyre passed what it could do.

i remember driving behind kris a couple years back in my GTS4, pretty sure ham was riding shotgun. the body roll on that thing was f**king scary lol

anywayyyyyyy.

who here hates HSVs?

who here hates HSVs?

That's because Kris had 280rwkw iirc and standard suspension.... because that's how we should mod cars, power first
