W208 CLK55 on 18"

I've been wanting to get an additional set of wheels to save my road rubber from the abuse of autocrossing. I decided to go with 18" SSR GT3 wheels with PS2's for the street and keep my stock 17" monoblocks for the autocross weekends.

What 17" tires are you using for autocross?

I have maybe 25% tread life on my 17" PS2's. I figured that I'd wear them down to slicks and see if my times improve

Are you still happy with your Euro springs? How much of a drop did you end up with when you changed over from stock?
