Nice one. Another urban myth blown apart :D

Cant see the point in paying 89.9p for Optimax when supermarket 95 RON can be had for 73p and works almost as well. There is a difference, but theres no way its worth an extra £7 or £8 a tankful, unless youre going quarter-mile racing or doing a trackday. I use about 1 tank a week, that would...

Only option without having the tyres refitted is left-front becomes left-rear, right-front becomes right-rear. Would be great to swap diagonally though, as most circuits are clockwise so mostly right-hand corners.

^^^ :confused: sorry Tom explain that a bit more?

OK Im going to try worn rears and nice new fronts at Spa. If I die, Ill blame you lot :devilish:

Hmmm yeah - were talking trackdays here remember - I dont use these things on the road (well not often anyway lol). On the road understeer is loads safer, but on trackdays I like to be able to whizz the back around, even if it means I have to catch it with a little opposite lock. Understeer is...

True - after one more trackday theyll all be knackered!

Still not convinced. Love that dial-in oversteer that you get by dabbing the brakes when youve gone into a corner a bit too hot.

I want less grip at the back - oversteer is good in a FWD car on the track!

Rear-wheel drive mid-engined supercar versus souped-up FWD shopping car. Youre having a laugh yeah? No comparison at all IMHO.

Bought some nice Yokohama A048R tyres for my last trackday, at great expense to the management I might add. Fronts were totally knackered after half a day, but rears are as new. Ive been told that swapping them round is a bad idea. But why?

Pop into your local Halfords if youre on a tight budget - they often have good deals on things thatve been hanging around the shop for a bit. (DONT order anything though - theyre terrible at ordering stuff in).

Demon Tweeks sell em.

Early 172 Mk2s came without ESP/cruise/TC. Price sounds ok-ish. Sounds a bit tatty though - you might find a better one for the same money.

Just get the springs - youll get 30,000 miles out of your standard shocks.

The Yokos are really noisy on the road - would drive you crazy after a while.

Oh yeah - what he ^^^^^ said; these tyres are not cheap - around £100 a corner.

I run Yokohama A048R road-legal slicks on 6 x 15 wheels. Offset is ET43, they fit fine.

If you are lowering for handling, fit the Eibachs. If its for looks, go for something lower. Bear in mind that your dealer is more likely to object to doing suspension-related warranty work if it looks really slammed though.
