Thanks for the direction on that book Jeff. I had motorcycles in my youth and did some fast driving (glad I survived that!) Didn't know a car could go that fast until I got the C4S...
Tires and wheels are on. I hit my favorite corner near my house before getting the new tires installed and only at the end of the corner at around 60mph did I feel the effect of understeer. I had to turn slightly more to hold my line.
Anyway right after I got the new tires on I went back thru the corner and couldn't notice a big difference. The largest difference was in the noise inside the car. Conti-sports were noticeably quieter over cracks/bumps in the road.
See my other post at the link below where I posted pictures of how it turned out.

Not sure how to post a picture here? Is that an option?
Thanks,

*****,
sorry I forgot to include where I got my rims from:
<a href="http://911pcar.com/" target="_blank">http://911pcar.com/</a>
Kind of a Porsche junk yard w/ really good junk. I also ordered an alum sift **** and alum. brake and just today got the air bag for my 3 spoke steering wheel. It was a good Monday at work as my RSR mufflers arrived today too! Denver is supposed to get 2 feet of snow in the next couple days so I'll be in the garage with my DIY instructions (except for air bag - I don't want to mess around with that - my luck it would go off and hurt my car!)
