    Cheers guys

    Swapped out cup 2’s for conti 6’s cup 2s for a track day. Contis have improved ride and made car more playful ie oversteer comes on earlier but braking still right up there in dry at least. Probably Whiteline springs but am worried about ride trade off (but they look so good) intake downpipe exhaust and tune similar to mods done to my mk2 RS 2000 back in the day (without the down draft Webbers)

    hey Breno, have you noticed the Conti’s tramline less or did you not have an issue with the Michelins tramlining before?



    No nothing.

    No Mods. No rockers. Just a chunky knob, thats now been replaced by an RS knob innit.

    No tackiness.

    Std as Ford intended, but with a space saver wheel and jack and nuts and wheel brace. oh.. and flaps, a man has got to have flaps.

    Innit?

    Hey guys

    Conti definitely tramline less and initial direction change very slightly less. Haven’t done much higher speed country running yet where the cup 2s were really impressive so will advise. Still experimenting with pressures running 40-38 atm

    @breno, thanks for that, have read that with the conti’s 38 fronts and 36 rears was a good option. But only you will know given the roads you use.
