Will probably try invos next to try and get some better wet grip

[admS15]

I call bullshit on this..

went from the old R888 to Achilles 123 Sport (their supposedly track tyres)

grip level dropped so fast it was not funny.

just ended up spinning tyres out of every corner.

I'm currently running the 123s. They're not a proper semi like r888. There more equivalent to a fed 595rsr and I've found they perform similarly. 595 might be a touch better.

[Mohsen]

do you have any suspension work done to the car? Swaybars, camber, castor adjustments?

Swaybars make a massive improvement in understeering/oversteering.

GTR swaybars, castor arms, camber arms

had 595rs, ku36, RE11 prior and now on RS3 I had significantly less grip with the 123s

180RWKW and just spinning them rest I could stand on the pedal and no issues.

I had RE002's once... Then my wallet got raped and won't be buying Bridgestone sports tyres ever again.

They've probably done like 3000kms in a few years, so will hang onto them until they bald like Louis CK

My experience has been quite different. 248rwkw and grip fine. Maybe the weight of the skyline helps. Dont get me wrong, they're not amazing, far from it. I was just trying to make the point that they're not an r compound.

In saying all of that, would I buy them again? Probably not. Truth be told, the only reason I did buy them is coz they where 150 a corner fitted in 265/35/18. Wallet was happy:) I think i'll be trying the rs3 next.

[emts]

RS3 are getting up near R888 grip but wear so much better.

I got the 123S as I wanted AD08's but was 2 weeks out from WTAC so think there were my size left in stock!

these were cheap, and I needed tyres for SAUNats.

got a class win at that.

[Leroy Peterson]

Dodged 2 court cases for jury duty, one being a 6 week murder trail. Wew.

A short one would have been nice to experience but f**k travelling to city at 9am everyday, that shit is for suckers

Edit: spoke too soon, have to come back tomorrow for another round

F**k off your stock swaybars & get adjustable. Adjust according to your understeer/oversteer dramas

Can confirm this.

Can also confirm that mohsen is a douchebag

[PENGUYEN]

I can plant my foot to the floor in first with no spin at all on 123s

In my civic

[PENGUYEN]

we all know the best is stock suspension for superior acceleration
