Matt you running 335's?! Where are you getting your alignment spec's from, your shop doing it from another car or setup they had previously done or??

Got my confirm. too. New front rotors, ball joints, and heim-jointed drop links sitting in a box. New drilled, plated, and plugged T-bars in another. Just got off the phone with Bilstein - revalved shocks and strut inserts being shipped 2-day tomorrow so I will have them Friday. Busy weekend putting everything back together and an eye-ball and measuring tape ride-height and alignment.

Then off to RaceWerks (with each wheel pulling in its own direction) for the real alignment/ride height/corner balance on Monday. And new Toyos, shaved. First time in three years not running spent Hoosiers. I'm starting to get psyched.

Another "where to get tires", if anyone is interested in asking a bunch of questions followed by "nevermind" (Wanna911 - I'm kidding!), I got the Toyos from http://www.frisbyracetire.com.

Thanks for the link, good prices! How long is shipping through them usually?

wanna911

Hey, sorry for planning ahead.

I resemble that remark.

iLLM3,

I'm not sure. I ordered mine on Friday and they are to be delivered to the shop on Wednesday. There is a slight delay in ther because they had to shave them.

Wanna911,

"KIDDING" or "grow a pair". I won't be part of the group hug.

Chill out man

Cool man thanks for the info... I had a pair of shaved RA1's but sold them.. But whatever, they were 305's and I want 335's on this bad boy, need all the grip I can get, and i'm not going shaved incase the weather is cold and wet, I need some nice tread, also I want them to last a bit!

iLLM3,

335s? Sheesh. Like many SCs and other RS-flared older 911s, I run 245s on the rear. I guess that was a wide tire in 1980. It is my understanding that shaving actually makes RA-1s last longer on the track. If you do not shave them, and heat them up and run aggressively, they may chunk. The tread blocks are fairly small and pieces will come off. With them shaved, you can run them till they cord. That's not significant to me because I have run several sets of Hoosiers to the cords. I understand the R888s have bigger tread blocks, so shaving them may not be necessary.

Wanna911,

I said I was kidding. You didn't believe me and felt the need to defend yourself, hence my response. Dead issue, IMO.

Yea man, even during the summer I would roast my tires (315's) on my GT2 going in a straight line, in 2nd LOL... RUF made the turbos zero clearance, so it has like no lag and all of that power down low, when they get warmed up though on good tires I can hook in first gear, which is awesome!

I am positive the RA1's unshaved on the street last longer, shaved do not but again this isn't hot lapping on the track, and I doubt i'll be doing that if I don't move up to black 2nd or 3rd day!

Drew (Seschang) recommended no shaved for the 3 days, can anyone else chime in??

White usually moves pretty well and there are more Gt3s and Turbos then there are in Black.

Here's the Roster sorted by group and then car type.

wanna911

Yes, dead issue, carry on.
