I've got the PP1 and found the car undrivable in that configuration - so sloppy, so much nose lift/wheel hop at take off.
The best (mandatory imo) thing you can do is get the CR005 'stop the hop' kit. My GF was demanding I get rid of the car before I put that in - $100.
Beyond that, it's...
And how do you expect me to achieve that, sir? My notion, same as anyone else's, is based on my experience and point of reference: the rear breaks loose much less than before. I don't loose traction every single time I shift into second. It feels better. Furthermore I explained my "choice" -...
Rears are Potenza S007A's. $142 each, so nothing to lose. I've adjusted the coilovers so there is a bit less rake than stock (BMR lockout kit too, if relevant). No 'Carolina Squat.'
Use case: I get onto country roads 1, 2x a week if I'm lucky for 6 months out of the year. That's it.
I realize...
Pretty sure this is a bad idea, but here we go...
Running 325/30/19" (11 inch width) rears = 26.7" diameter. Only size 325 I can find.
Threw PP1 rear wheels (w/5mm spacer) up front. 275/40/19" = 27.7".
Adjusted coil-overs. I think it handles amazing; don't care that it looks stupid...
Any noticable advantage to running cup2, Rii, r888r vs MP4S -- in the front? I'm running 285 front, 325 rear (I know). Just hard street driving. Don't care about cost or mileage. Appreciate the input!
How did you make out? I'm probably going with the Roush stage 2 on an '18 PP2. Already have the BMR Lockout Kit (which totally eliminated wheel hop... idk how anyone can drive without this) and stiff Pedders coilovers + 325's in back. Thought it was mandatory to get half-shafts, but never...
Not 100 percent the same, but I just changed out the snow tires for the PS4S' last week (upstate NY). Like a new car... but it's 17* out right now, so I'm out of luck today..
Driving the car is a hobby; that it gets me from A to B is a bonus. Plus, the MPG really isn't bad on the s550... not much worse than alot of turbo-4's out there.
Winter isn't too bad lately in upstate NY, but I did buy a set of knock-off PP wheels and 275/255 snow tires mounted from tire rack. In retrospect I would have gotten all seasons rather than actual snow tires (it gets cold, but I don't need to drive in snow much anymore). Either way it's...
I just went with PP1 replicas with Hankooks: exact same wheel dimensions/offsets, with the exact same tire sizes... just in snows (255/275). I assumed the PP1 was set up specifically for the tire sizes it came with and didn't want to screw-up the traction control or anything in the snow.
In...
