Well yesterday was a very wet and cold day.
but I still went to the Sanair tri-oval road course and I had ALOT of fun.
I must say that I'm now quite satisfied of the balance of my car. it was my very 1st time on a track with wet surface with the GTS-T(I tracked my stock subaru brighton last year).
running with 1bar boost(around 310hp)my rear BF goodrich KDW2 255 were pretty predictable and went I did loose the rear end, everything was under control
but nothing compared to my new front wheel/tires. I bought NIsmo LMGT4's last year and I wasn't sure they would fit. being 9.5 wide and with a + 38 offset I wasn't sure it would fit.
Also I decided to go with BFgoodrich KDW2 255 wide tires. which was maybe a mistakes because without a 5mm spacer the tires rubs slightly on the suspension arm.
so in other words: 255/40/17 tires, 9.5J +38 offset -5mm spacers(~33mm offset) fit the GTS-T. Also I must mention that I have adjustable upper camber arms and it's set to negative 1 degree maybe. so it might be
now with the good stuff:
Braking: was trully amazing even in the wet. I'd say it was probably as good as it was before on the dry with my 215's.
pics are coming soon!
