i'm running OEM tire sizes, w 10mm spacers i had laying around to clear the coils up front

westos' car is pretty slammed - i think that's the biggest difference. I like this ride height for no fear street driving, and the PSS9's are co compliant that i'm hesitant to mess with the setup.

thread content - my cousin took this pic yesterday. check out his insta @julianmathesonphoto. He's really stepping up.

Washed and waxed the 78'. Love cruising around in this thing. Ride quality is unbelievable even after 40+ years.

I wouldn't kick that SiR to the curb either
what a sweet trio

I was going to pull the trigger on a set of PSS9 B14 for the e46, but backordered. How do you like them? Does it ride comfy enough for the street? But on the flip side, is it stiff enough for autox / the track? TIA

Did my second autox on Sunday. Last time I was running WRG3 front (235/35/19 on 8.5) and PSS rear (265/30/19 on 9.5). This time I'm 245/35/19 square (ish, aside from wheel width) with the Indy 500s.

I'm pretty pissed off with the times I got. The first time I did auto-x, I shaved off about 5 seconds from first good run to last good run. This time was only a 2 second variance.

Saw lowside there, his 128 sounds insane!

320icar, I can't say much about the Indy 500s yet. Especially because the set up is totally different and I'm being limited by the lack of suspension. The turn in is a lot grippier, definitely, much gripper than my old PSS, but not very hoonable. Tho by, run 7 or 8 of 9 runs, it got pretty greasy at launch. So I don't think it's a good tire at the extreme ends of temps - too cold or too hot. I feel like there's not enough feedback with the tires, you don't really feel anything until you slip - squeel.

For the price, I'm pretty happy. I convinced my friend to get it, and I think he's pretty happy too, he placed 32/91 indexed, and was top of class (HS I think). I'll keep you guys posted.

I have a set sitting in storage. I wouldn’t use them as a dedicated track set of suspension, not enough adhustment. Also height is changed by spring preload, not a threaded insert in the shock body. Buy for daily use and s few events a year they’re great

Got convinced by BIC_BAWS to come out to autocross. First time ever and I think im hooked! Pretty impressed by the S4 which did pretty good considering its close to 4000lbs with a newb driver and all season DWS06's :cool:

We have same wheel sizes, tire sizes etc, but I think the goodyear F1s run wider than the PSS. The tread also seems a bit deeper.

I run 12mm and 5mm spacers and I'm maybe 1/2 inch lower. I think the sweet spot is directly in between us for ride height. I'm a bit low and it gets the asshole puckering often.

I looked around for the longest time and at one point I gave up on finding a coupe but then all of a sudden this one popped up on CL and I just had to have it. The engine and tranny run strong (knockonwood) and the colour matched my 350 so it was pretty much love at first sight. 27th Birthday present to myself :alone:

That's awesome man. It's really slim pick locally, most of them rusted away. I flew to Edmonton last summer to look at one that was supposed to be pretty nice, came home disappointed.

Was this the one with an after market wheel + blonde woman who took a selfie in the car in one of the photos of the ad? I am still debating on picking up a C123 Diesel this summer, and this one was on my radar for sure. Congrats !

^ Yup lol She moved to Mexico so the car was sitting in storage. She was pretty easy to deal with she even let me test drive it and take it home with her plates while she DHL'd the transfer papers. I love the Lecarra steering wheel better than the bulky oem one.
