...Lordy....

Don't forget to adjust your alignment after the track too! This was mine!

Next time you get your alignment, try some slight toe out in the front. It will make the front end more pointy on turn-in.

That, and I need to get off my a** and install the spoon rigid collars that have been sitting around in my house for a year.

You can do mine too. Every time I think about doing it I lose motivation ?

I've heard nothing but positive comments from people who have installed them, and dropping a subframe is easy, but in my head....it just sounds like a PITA.

Me sitting on the couch on Saturday, "Hmmm....what should I do today? I could put on those Spoon Rigid Collars."

4 hours later....still on couch staring at Instagram.....

Oh well.....I guess I'll do it later.

The tire gods have spoken:

This test is pretty silly, you can't pick a heavy, camber-challenged car without adjustment, and then compare a bunch of tires and consider that a baseline for all chassis. The M2 is a pig, with no camber. Of course, the A052 is going to struggle.

Honestly, in my book, TR lost some credibility here.

He's running CSF's protoype oil cooler/trans cooler setup. It looks intriguing, but hopefully the bumper vents aren't the final iteration.

they did a more track oriented test, but they used average lap time...makes no sense when everyone know 052 are good for 1-2 laps and then it's over. It's why i said i don't fully trust their tire testing.

Yes, I would have to agree. I thought it would be a more comprehensive test.
