Yeah that is the thing... I don't drive a ton (maybe 5000 miles per year) but it is my daily driver so still torn at whether the track benefits on the Cup 2 outweigh the trade offs around wear rating, wet traction, and price vs the PSS. No worries though as I have plenty of time to figure it out.

I will also try and weigh both OEM and the new wheels but might be apples to oranges as my stock wheels have winter tires mounted already. I will however say that the Forgelines are damn light!

Thanks! Last summer I made it out to both the big and small tracks at Mosport (now known as Canadian Tire Motorsports Park) and also Calabogie. Hoping to maybe hit Watkins Glen and a few others this summer, we'll see.

Got sent a pic of my tires mounted on the wheels... the countdown has started!

Let's see if I can hold off getting them installed through to next weekend, supposed to be cold here the next few days and don't need to be riding around on rock hard P-Zeros. Can't wait.

Looking good.

Did the Cup 2's go down in price? Saw them on Tire Rack for just over $2K/set. They look sharp though. For a fair weather driver, I think they're a great option. As on the RS. I think I will try them next.

Don't think so, they've always been around $2k for a set.

Looking good! I'm always happy to see more pix of Sapphire/Aqua cars, they're definitely the best.

Been a while since I updated this thread so here are a few pics from my event this week Mon/Tues at Watkins Glen! An amazing event and the track (freshly repaved) is super smooth and very fast. Amazing time and I'll definitely be back next year.

Couple advance pics of the latest round of mods... currently at the shop getting KW HAS kit, Michelin Sport Cup 2 tires, and Pagid RS29 pads installed. Picking it up tomorrow but from the pics I think it is looking rather nice. Love the meaty look of the Sport Cup 2s!

looks great! - there was some debate about the installation of the KW H.A.S elsewhere (regarding the removal of the Spring Perch as I recall) - do you know
if your installer had to cut anything off of the OEM strut in order to mount the
H.A.S?

Thanks Larry. I don't think anything had to be cut off to install as my shop would have informed me before doing so. I will confirm during pickup today though.

I've thought about those TPC anti-roll bars trust me... we'll see.
