I'm gonna guess that you are looking at the black OZed Ultraleggeras (since they are 0.3 lbs. lighter than the silver ones) @ 15.7 lbs., correct?
You also could just put the Yoks on the very light Koseis once the RT660s are toast.

The A052s, besides being very sticky, and about the widest in tread width, 200 tread wear tire to be had in that size, are also one of the lightest tires in that size as well.

About the only drawback is that some on here claim that the A052s are so called 'camber challenged', which might be a factor in H/Street with limited suspension adjustments allowed (no camber bolts, correct? ).

WAIT A MINUTE, the SCCA allows remote reservoir dampers/coil overs (as long as the factory spring/ride height is used) in H/Street?!?!

My 17 's are 14.7 just need the Yokohamas, no need for Oz's.
The Yokohamas will die sooner but not in 6 runs from Nationals .

Apparently yes.

Looks like https://www.fordmuscle.com/tech-stories/the-way-of-the-fist-part-6-dyno-baseline-and-mods-for-power/ is the article with the dyno results. Cool series!

 

[Andres3165]

Yes, the difference with mine are the shocks, my wheels are lighter and my exhaust is a FSWerks with a muffler delete (14lbs, ) lighter. It feels very strong.

Your FSWerks deletes the rear muffler? So it’s only the piping itself? Have you done a decibel test on it? I imagine it’s not bad because of the turbo, but curious how much louder.

Wow, that’s nice and quiet. Any droning on the highway?

 

[Andres3165]

no

Am i reading this right? those dampers are $4,500 a set?

I can't fathom dumping nearly 50% of the value of the car into shocks lol

Thanks for the visual. As a bonus, I like the clean look of that too. Not a fan of big exhaust tips.

HA! IF I had the coin laying around, I would dump almost $10K into a set of the M-Sport Reiger remote reservoir, 3 way adjustable R2 setup. LOL
