you can definitely go less pressure to start so you can aim for 35 hot. That said if you don't have camber (I don't ) then I think keeping it a bit more psi hot will save the tire which is what I do. How were the tires? I am going to switch to those after I kill my hankook RS4s
@@oficina_moomoo currently running about -2° all around. Next time I’ll be starting at about 28 psi cold and see what that does. As for the tires, I liked them. They felt grippy and talked back nicely. I had RT660 on my EK hatch and loved those. These I would say was a good buy at this price point. 👌🏽
Yeah man, they are so cheap. I take you pulled the pins to get to 2.0? I haven’t done it yet but might just go and get some ball joints to get 3.0. Next season though, just going to run stock camber for rest of track days which probably 1 or 2 this year, car is surprisingly good on stock camber and tires have actually not been getting beat up as much as I thought they would
@@oficina_moomoo I agree. Yes, pulled the pins to get a little more out of it. Not planning on running anymore than what I have now so will hopefully get faster playing with the tire psi and seat time.
I was out there in the white FL5 but driving in group 100. I was pulling dual duty instructing in both the 200 and 300 group. Hopefully next time we can link up. These cars can get into the low 1:40's. Lol I posted the 1:42 all stock just 255 35 19 A052's, Project MU Club Racer pads, and no lowering springs. I recently switched to the Paragon R5 pads all around. My tire pressures when hot are 32 front and 35 rear, with those tire pressures the car will oversteer ALOT so just be mindful about that.
@@Club-Version oh man, I would have loved to link up with you. You were the person I was referencing in this video! 👌🏽👏🏽 I was watching what gear you were taking turns at and it helped improve my day, that’s how I was able to get a 1:47. I saw the big type r group out there, I was all the way on the other side.
@@agcrxturbo9577 Yes you were pretty far away, I usually park around garage 12. I have my email in the about section of my channel profile, hit me up I can give a few more pointers. My car's gearing is slightly different because I have a taller tire setup but only marginal.
@@agcrxturbo9577 I’m usually out there once every other month, but this year I’ve gone about 8-9 times to HMS and once to Sebring. I run with PDG and Chin.

@@Daveyboy_RS3 lol, oh got it. With windows closed it’s fine. I will add that it was quieter with the OEM wheels. These tires are louder but it doesn’t bother me because “race car”. 😂
