Thanks for the confidence booster...the fronts I plan on running a 5mm spacer.
I like a firm ride, I got a young body...so I'll be good with it.

I've driven on Z1s, and liked them...but they overcooked way too easily.
I'm still very borderline on both tires, both have different approaches at getting grip. The Z2s offer a stiffer sidewall, where the RS3s like a ton of slip angle.
I had no problem getting RS3s up to temp within a run. One big plus on the Hankooks is that they offer contingency.
BTW - Registered for the Wilmington Match Tour for April 12-13th.
Will only have 1 local event to tune in the car, and that is the weekend prior. This will be interesting
