also better acceleration

you urgent need them ?
I have 3 of them good now, 1 is losing the side
you can use 2 of them,
Coz I still have the TPMS on the rims (RPF1) with the Federal tires
you can have the tires,dont need to pay me, just help me to take out the TPMS and give me back, deal?
Coz I'm selling the RPF1's on e-bay, without tires will cost less shipping...but didnt want to spend $ for just taking the TPMS out
Then you only need to buy 2 tires instead of 4

damn 8club is taking forever to load each page for me

Yeah, i was reading up in the track forums and Teamrx8 posted up about a relatively good setup would be Progress rear and racing beat front. I believe there was some talk about a little bit of understeer with progress front on full stiff. Can't recall off hand. I do like Progress a lot though - simply because of the adjustability and design. Tanabe's are also pretty good from what i hear. Not sure if they're adjustable however

Wrong, less understeer. The stiffer the rear, the more oversteer.

Increasing the proportion of roll stiffness at the front will increase the proportion of the total weight transfer that the front axle reacts and decrease the proportion that the rear axle reacts. This will cause the outer front wheel to run at a higher slip angle, and the outer rear wheel to run at a lower slip angle, which is an understeer effect. Increasing the proportion of roll stiffness at the rear axle will have the opposite effect and decrease understeer.

Front stiffer = good.
Rear stiffer = depends if you wanna dorifto or not.

If I had Progress front and rear, I'd do full stiff in front and medium in rear.

I agree with having a stiffer rear setup but i would want my front sway to be a little more forgiving to prevent any kind of understeer

It's the other way around, the stiffer the front, the less understeer.

The stiffer the rear, the more oversteer.

Paris, I say you buy the Progress front.

Readjust it to the weakest stiffness, take a corner really hard. Understeer will be apparent.

Adjust it to full stiff, take a corner really hard. Understeer will be less apparent.

I agree with the stiffer rear = oversteer

I just can't agree with a full stiff front sway = more beneficial than a medium stiff setting

Go and test out the settings I just posted and report back. You'll notice the difference.
