Rennline LCA monoball, Porsche Motorsports caster bushings, and will most likely be going with Champion Motorsports for the toe-links.
My last set of rears went 4k miles, 6k km...




Loving the wheels!
Cheers,
Rob

yeah, i hear you 5k miles is about the norm for me. I've gotten used to it. but at the risk of repeating myself? i do believe that with the new TS links and the very tough p zero i may in fact get 7k! ( hoping lol )

Hi all,

Excuse the thread hijack.

I have a set of 18" forgestar f14s on my TT. The rears are 12" wide so require 315 section tires. The tires are pretty low so I'll need a new set. Not much to choose from in this size but in considering Pirelli's, Goodrich or even Toyo R888. The car is predominantly street driven but not a daily driver. I will be doing some track days. I'm worried the R888's are too loud and will wear out in no time. I currently have Pirelli's but I've not heard great things and they are noisy now the are low. I thought the Goodrich could be a happy medium. Michelins are crazy money.

Thoughts?

Alternatively, I have a set of standard hollow spokes, which will take a 295 on the rear, for which there are many options. May just go back to these and sell the F14's to pay for an exhaust.

Ps- 993gt, those OZ wheels look awesome.

Thanks man!
If I were in your shoes, I'd sell the Forgestar and go back to enjoying the cheap 295's on stock wheels...paying the 3xx size premium sucks/ripoff...
If you keep the F.S. wheels, try the Falken RT615K, I really liked them overall and will most likely be my future sets of tires again, unless the Rival's re-prove themselves(no tread separation issues)
Cheers,
Rob

you could run a 305/35-18 on the foresters and open up a few more options. i think they still fall within the 4% difference for awd cars.

I'm just waiting to see if my factory/current GT2 wheels sell or not.

If they sell it'll be Rival's on OZ's from T.R(package deal)
No sell by Spring, Falken's on stockers.

finally pulled the trigger rob .

really was just waiting for the right size boulder to come along and sure enough rounding a corner at my usual leisurely pace there it was! a nice 7/10 pounder, nailed smack on the side of my pass side, took out a band new michi PSS and a rocker panel in the process..

and gave me the excuse to order tha last set of anthracite OZ allegerita's in gt2 sizes with pre mounted p zeros sometimes ya just gotta force stuff ya want into happening i'll have em tomorrow. but you should see my passenger side wheel/tire! hah! utterly useless ...
