^^^he is too busy to baby sit your stingray steven. OP nice find with all the goodies, btw any noticeable on the butt dyno?
I don't drive the car that often so it is harder to tell. With my bridgestone re760 in 255-40-17 they won't hold 1st or 2nd gear when you get on it. My cl which has an intake, headers, and exhaust it but the tl feels much quicker. I put my aspec wheels on with michelin pilot super sports today so hopefully that will help with grip in 1st and 2nd gear. I'll try to get some pictures this weekend if the weather is good and maybe some new videos.
Thanks, I like them a lot more and they were my first choice for wheels. When I needed to replace tires I couldn't find any at the time so I got a set of type s wheels

Thanks, tires are 255-40-18 michelin pilot super sports.
Very nice looking 3G TL. The Gunmetal finish almost had me confused for a moment and thought they were the 8.5 Aspec version. Just goes to show you that the 8inch Aspecs can look just as nice.
those Michelin SS is really good at grip, I have a set now on my TL and every time I push the car into the corner the tires just urge me to steer more than it can handle.
at first I couldn't decide what color to paint them but was leaning towards blue. A few weeks later I saw a cts-v in silver with silver brembos and that's what made me decide to paint them silver.

Thanks, I wanted a set of 8.5 aspecs but they are hard to find. The only ones I came across were either curb rashed or more than I wanted to spend for factory wheels. I saw these for a good deal so I got them.

The michelin ss are my favorite tire so far, I thought the bridgestone re760 were good when I first got them. Once I started adding performance parts they couldn't keep up. In the rain I could never get on it at all or they would start to spin. I will be able to tell more once I drive it some more. I've got a set on my cl that has about 2500 miles on them and the set on my tl has about 30 miles on them.
I have the bridgestone RE760 for front tires in my is300 and Michelin SS as my tl front tires and i notice in wet traction the Michelin offer more grip oh one more thing the bridgestone has terrible road noise. Beside i got the SS for cheap its like $320 shipped to my door with road hardzard already included.

The wet and dry traction are much better. My bridgestones got noisy when they got low so hopefully these will be better. $320 is a good really good deal where did you get them from.
I bought from tireracks when they had special deals. $650 for 4 tires with $70 visa rebate. I think the price for each was $135 per tire and i know its too good to be pass so i grab a set.

I got both sets from discount tire during the 70$ rebate and they also had an additional 30$ rebate. I paid $660 (235-40-18) for the set for my cl and $800 (255-40-18) for the set for my tl. They weren't that much more than the bridgestones I took off thanks to the rebates
Glad to see some movement in town again, we'll have to keep it up, it seemed to resonate well with those who attended afterwards
I forgot to mention I got the mounts, I have only had them in for two weeks and about 50 miles on them. I only did the front and side mount for now. Hopefully more people will keep showing up each time.
I think it will catch on, I texted Ray Sunday evening about the next one in April and he said he would make sure he requested that day off to come out, said he waiting to buy coils before putting his Vip Modular wheels on the 4th gen...

I got the 62 bushings, there is some vibration with AC on and stopped. It's not to bad though and on a automatic it's not even noticeable. Ruben did them on his car and you couldn't even tell.
