You are going to love The Michelin Pilot Sport 4S - I have 305 rears and 275 fronts and the difference in grip is absolutely staggering. It now has grip levels as good as my much loved E92 V8 BMW M3.

Looks like Sydney is going to get a good dosage of rain as soon as I get them fitted, so i’ll be able to test them :headbonk:

How are the 305s? Fit without camber?
Ride not too harsh? They were my biggest concerns

20x10” front
20x11” rear
The rears end up about $500 a piece (tyres).
Got them at AutoCraze Sydney. I know a place that might do them cheaper that comes highly recommended, but they can’t install them (interstate) and they ignored one of my emails, so they’re banned :lol: but PM me if you want to know

I installed the shifter. Just take your time and nothing will break.also the tiny screws are a bugger and easy to drop down the gap so use a magnetic screw driver

Yep wasnt too bad, got this done on the weekend. Hardest part was getting the screws back in, the plastic came off pretty easily.

Saving the pennies for the catback now, really need some more volume.

While Im at it, does anyone have a good rec for the Diode dynamic DRL supply and/or install in Sydney? and a ballpark price?

The 305's are fine, ride is not at all harsh, in fact it feels no different at all over stock.

The have the recommended camber, but unless you get a wheel with the correct internal offset then you would rub if your car has been lowered. Maybe not if not lowered.

Anyone know what the difference is between the MPSS and MPS4? Im looking at getting some MRR350s 19" 275/295.

Not sure about Sydney but I sent mine to exoticponymods.com in Melbourne who did a fantastic job.

Yes the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S are the latest and greatest in their line up and sit below the dry day only Michelin pilot Sport Cup tyres which are close to a slick.

The MP Super Sports are a step down in performance from the new 4S tyres, the 4S are also significantly more expensive than the SS particularly when you get in the 305/30 size range ($750 a tyre).

All I can say is I think the 4S are worth every penny, they are the best gripping tyres in the wet and dry that I have had on a car.

Actually it's about what I'm doing tomorrow!

I'll be back in the saddle tomorrow morning with my new Grabber. Not letting this one go!!

Giddyup ! :clap2:

After having the part in my workshop for two months I finally installed the lower grille US version. Not to bad a job but definitely two man for a bit of it.

Looks good miro, as do the wheels and ride height. Do you by chance have a side-on shot of your car that you could post? Maybe in one of the sticky threads...

New wheels fitted yesterday, very happy with the end result.
