chazuk Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Anyone tried the Federal 595 RSR its looks very similar to the r888 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h89mps Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 (edited) What about suspension wise? Softer springs on the back and how the weight is distributed with the ride height? All of this will help I think. Also this will help too. Edited April 6, 2012 by h89mps (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Hm, my Pirelli P0's are about 5 years old now, that might explain a lot... Only 265's as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdistc Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 From my experience, it is a combination of good tyre (i.e. soft compound, decent grip patch, up to operating temperature) and appropriate suspension (i.e. not "HellaFlush" or cheap suspension without the ability to absorb rebound etc.). Ambient temperature also contributes - but even in nice warm Australian roads with soft Yoko Advans, I spun to 4th if on full kill. Of course, after that I lost faith with the Tein Superstreets.

ADZsupra Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Lee knows how to build a car i can say that much..if i do kickdown at 1.2 bar ive got the wheels spinning in 1st 2nd and 3rd with the back end twitching! Madness! Reckon that line lock kit n some wide tyres would help you mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai 20V Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Anyone tried the Federal 595 RSR its looks very similar to the r888 They dirt cheap in Japan.. I was going to try a set on my 17's, but I am only BPU so I reckon they will hold fine.. At 700hp, probably not, based on the price.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
