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.  Untitled by GhstRidr, on Flickr

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

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.

Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk | 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

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. | 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.  DSC_0446 by Chris West, on Flickr

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.

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.
