Just remember that the biggest performance improvement you can make to the suspension is the tires. If you put on crappy tires it will brake, accelerate, and handle like crap.

Sometimes you see cars with thousands of dollars worth of performance mods and they save $200 by putting on cheap tires.

I just picked up the Kumho Victoracer V700.

I will post my impressions after my track day this weekend.

I have heard from someone that the Victoracer has pretty good durability even on the street. It depends on how aggressively you drive though.

Does anyone know how many heat-cycles they are usually good for?
