They are great. Even without balance the road feel is better and noise is stock to my ears. Dry traction is great.

I would definitely second that the road noise is quieter and it might be because I went down an inch in size but I don't track in the grooves like I did with my other tires/rims as well.

Grip isn't the best, but pretty dang good and predictable understeer before it transitions into oversteer.

After searching around, turns out the paint on the front calipers are heat sensitive. Permanent gold calipers until you paint them back... if you choose to do so.

I'll be keeping my calipers gold, they look great!

www.ocracecraft.com sets up a driving school/track on the occasional Friday/Saturdays.

I had won a free half day for putting out the most consistent lap times in my group when I attended the driving school back in December. The staff is professional, it's all hands on fun. I highly recommend it

Look at that roll! This car just begs for aftermarket struts - bilsteins sometime in the future.

Have my eye on some kumho tires as of the moment.
