Well adding to my collection of parts that are waiting for my delivery 🚚 my H&R Super Sport springs came in. I’ve ran these on my 370Z, Scat Pack and F82 and absolutely love them! Great lower fitment with daily accessibility! Picture of my F82 for ref! Also a picture I found of someone’s G87 with the same springs and spacers (I’ll order the spacers next week) 😌

Where are you guys pulling this information that PS4S* are grippier than Pzeros*?

Is there a comparison or test I missed?
Or are we just parroting stuff?

Serious question as I’m 100% curious how we can assess this.
It’s personal preference for a lot of people. I’ve almost always switched to Michelin tires on the last 5 cars and I prefer the characteristics of their tires compared to Pirelli or Goodyear or Continental. They’re generally the most “balanced” when it comes to performance vs comfort. A lot of people will also argue they look better.

I am speaking of the so called tire lottery and the assertion they have more grip.
I think the assertion is that people simply prefer Michelin and getting Pirellis is considered bad luck for them. I know I would have been slightly annoyed with Pirellis based on my personal experience with them, but I wouldn’t have gone out of my way to replace them immediately.

Are those adjustable? I'd like to get springs that are not adjustable, and springs that aren't just thinner springs of same length (thus flexing more, and lowering the car).

Did you measure them? Are they actually shorter than stock?
They are not adjustable and I haven’t measured them yet. I get the car in September and I will then

First back road trip into the foothills. M HAS felt good. No complaints except having to keep it under 4000 RPM. Lol. 1,100 miles to go.

I may be the bearer of good news then.

You can run the engine up to 5000 RPM until 600 miles, and to 6000 RPM from 600 to 1,200 miles.

Enjoy!
Good call out. Looks like you are correct.

The funny part is that I’ve been lying to myself this entire time. I’ve probably taken the car closer to 5000 RPM when I thought the recommended limit was 4000. Lol.

I can weigh the stick wheels as they’re not dismounted. They did feel quite heavy carrying them to storage.

Has there been an official weigh in?

You’re definitely right…but there’s just something about BG with black that looks so right. In person it’s even more apparent.

I for sure have kept it under 4k and it’s been a daunting task.

Thanks for the extra 1k

Glad you can open it up more now with less weight on your shoulders
Added another 60 miles today with a little more freedom on the throttle. Felt great.

Finally gave her a bath after the 2k mile road trip. My word was she DIRTY. Here's an in progress photo trying to show the fender just washed while the door still needs washed.
