I have KW V3's and it is great on the street. My car has GT2 wheels as well thus fills fender nicely.

OK but what else should I exchange as I have PSS9 already on car and GT2 size HRS wheels on it. I like to have more precision steering felling.

Are you still AWD or are you RWD? I've heard that steering feel improves dramatically and becomes more precise when you go RWD. That might be something to consider if not done already, and if you can tolerate being RWD only of course (don't forget you'll need to add a good aftermarket LSD).

I am AWD still. I think about RWD but I like to keep AWD as far as I find that I can't upgrade driving ability any more.

Tomy, I suggest you add eibach adjustable sway bars, tarret drop links and strut braces from eagle day. Once fitted have your shop align your wheels and suspension to a stage 2 track set up. I promise you will be very happy with the outcome you do chew ur front tyres but for turn in as fast as a boxster who cares. If u wanted even more I suggest upgrading ur engine and gear box mounts.

Good luck.
