[Pics] My 951 Cup with the genuine magnesium rims
Here it is ! My Cup got its original wheels back on it, with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires (245/45x16). The camber is 3° front and 2° rear

Looks good. Can't say I really like the color, but if this was my car I'd do the same thing. This is one 951 that needs to be visually stock. Nice car!
The wing looks fantastic by the way, and I would love a set of those hood pins.

The hood is some kind of foam cored sandwich build with fiberglass skins. Amazingly break resistent.
Asarus, did you put spacers in the rear? It brings the tires nicely in line with the fenders...

Sam,
I think there is more than 3° neg camber in rear. The car understeers too much, but once it has turned in, I can rocket out of turns like crazy. Even the GT3 could not follow out of the last turn in the local track. Very secure feeling for a novice driver. When I gain more confidence, I'll put more in front, and less in back. The picture is abit misleading though. Here from another angle.
Is that a convincing excuse to make up for the badly needed geometry check?
Sybelix, the brake discs are original Cup items.

I'm interested in those drilled brake rotors too... anybody have a part number for them? Would I be able to use them with otherwise stock 951 brakes..?
