We were fighting the weather most of the day so I was only able to get a couple good sessions in without wet pavement. I did however manage to squeeze out a 1:39 at the very end of the day.

I was running the factory M Sport wheels with 215F & 245R on stock alignment. I learned as many have that with the Ohlins Road & Track coilovers you really need the shorter Swift springs to accommodate wider front fitment. The spring perch is quite low with the Ohlins springs in front and doesn't lend well to wide front wheels and tires. It did however give me a good baseline to start with as I plan on purchasing Swift springs and Vorshlag plates. It's driving me crazy that I've had my Apex ARC8's sitting until I can get the springs and plates installed. I'm planning on running 245/35/18 MPSS in front and 265/35/18 MPSS in the rear. My goal is the same as fe1rx, no rubbing under possible and probable conditions.

I've been following fe1rx thread and he confirms this is also an issue. Excellent read if you have the time.
