best track tires, best wheels?

I just bought a 2004 wrx sedan. I will be using it for 2-4 track events per year. I am an instructor for BMW CCA and Car Guys. The tracks will probably include VIR, Roebling Road, and Road Atlanta. What is your rec for wheels and R compound tires for my otherwise stock car. The other changes I plan to make before taking it on track are brake pads, brake fluid, and water wetter.

I have used the Kumho V700 VictoRacers, which I love, but switched at the end of last summer to the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup, also quite good. The primary reason is longetivity. I was burning up the Kumho's quite quickly with the car's natural understeer. The Michelins have held up much better, although this is largely from my suspension changes. I installed the Whiteline rear bar, which helped a lot, and then the Eibach ProKit springs and made the front alignment 2 degrees negative camber. I don't know if/how the 2004 differs in suspension/sway bars, but if it is the same, I highly reccomend getting a stiffer rear sway bar to reduce the understeer and make the car more neutral.
I run 225-45-17's, but can't make a wheel recommendation as I have some pretty cheap wheels (Sport Edition Fox 2 17 x 7) from Tire Rack for my track tires.
Good call on the brake upgrade. I use the CarboTech XP pads in front, Panther+ in rear. What are you putting in? Another upgrade many people (including me) do to the brakes is to change to stainless steel lines. It isn't mandatory, but they reduce the flex inherent in the rubber lines and give a more direct immediate pedal feel. I am still having brake temperature problems, but see how it all goes for you.
Good luck,

I am not sure about the tires... But for wheels: Rotas seem to be strong, yet cheap.
I also have a 2004 Sedan... THE ONLY BRAKES YOU WILL FIND FOR AN '03-'04 are from Carbotech!!! Do not get pads for an '02, they are not the same.
I put on the Cusco Adj. Rear Sway bar, & it took away a LOT of the understeer. If you have the means, do this MOD.
The stainless steel lines make a big difference, too!

Hi,
I've been running 225/50-16 Toyo RA-1's on stock RS wheels (wider than OEM WRX) with success. Those tires are great, even impressive at full thread in the wet. Wear is excellent so far, very predictable and grippy. I've ran fast course (+180 straight) and slower ones so far and really love them.
The lowdown on them seems to be that they last very long and that grip increase with usage (so does the fun :p)
Here's a website to check them out:

Thanks guys. Exactly the info I was looking for. By the way, I love this car. It is more fun to drive than any of my previous cars. I can not wait to get it on track!!!

One more question for you guys. Does everyone use the Carbotech pads? I have used them in the past , but Hawk seemed better on the track. I don't know if they even make pads for our cars. Also it seems the consensus on wheel size is 17x7.5. Does that sound right to you all?
| mturmel | 08-15-2003 10:44 PM |
go 16", cheaper!, yeah I'm a cheap bast... ;)
I've been using the Porterfield R4S and they've been performing great. A bit pricey, but worth it IMHO.
Also, definitely do the SS lines and high boiling point brake fluid (I use Motul RBF 600).

If you're going to run a track only wheel/tire combo, the 17"x7.5" SSR Competition weighs in at less than 13 lb. It's semi-forged so maybe not strong enough for daily driving on rough roads.

I regret not getting the 17x7.5. My track partner runs a Porsche, and throws away tons of 245-40 fronts as he burns rears quicker. I plan on getting 7.5's to take advantage of his castoffs (2 sets just last weekend-I need [B]HIS[/B] budget!)
However, if you plan on doing AutoX, you may want to check size restrictions on tires. 225's fit on 7" wheels.

I have run RA extensively in my 02 WRX.
I use Victoracers on the stock rims (225/50/16 size) and bought a nice set of rims for the street. Victoracers (and Hoosiers, heh) are a lot cheaper in the 16" size and they do fine at the track.
I have tried a lot of different brake pads there, too. You will want to go with a set of Panther XP's, most likely. Pad fade was a big problem at Road Atlanta for my car, primarily at 10A/10B but also at 1 and 5. The stock rotors held up pretty well but if you continue to track the car you'll probably want to consider a BBK that fits under the stock wheels (I got mine from TWR Racing -- let me know if you have questions).
Go with Motul 600 for the brake fluid. I haven't found any need for water wetter yet, even for the very hot 95+ degrees track days. Temp gauge never goes above where it does on the street. Oil temp usually rises to about 110C and will stay there after 10-12 laps.
I also second the recommendation for a blade adjustable RSB. I use the Whiteline 22-24-26mm bar; 22 dials out most of the understeer, 24 is neutral and probably best for you as an experienced driver/instructor. 26 has been known to break mounts or endlinks, so if you like a tail happy car (relatively speaking), then plan on replacing those with alloy or HD versions.
I have a few other goodies I've done to the car and I have probably 900 laps at RA, so if you have questions feel free to ask. Also, a buddy, Tcarter here on NASIOC has a lot of time at RA with his WRX as well if you'd like a second opinion. :D
Good luck, and let me know if you have questions.

I like [URL=http://www.cobaltfriction.com]Cobalt[/URL] pads.
I have some 17x7.5 Racing Hart CP-035 wheels in gold with 225/45/17 Victoracers with one event on them for sale. Wheels weigh 12.7lbs without tires and are fully forged.
$1400 OBO
I don't want this to turn into a broken wheel thread, but I would definitely advise against using a "lightweight" cast wheel on the track with R-compound tires.

I second the nod for the RA1s. I use full tread RA1s for the street and when they wear down I save 'em for the track. I've got two set of Rotas so I can cycle through them properly. When they wear down you get hooked for the traction they provide. Not only can you turn with more speed, you can brake a lot deeper without ABS kicking in.
As far as Rota rim strength ... I've been off sideways at over 80mph with no problems. They are inexpensive and not too heavy.
Ditto the use of Motul 600 with stainless lines and I also give thumbs up for the Pagid Oranges in Stoptechs.

Ah, another reason to do the StopTech BBK upgrade. I want to try the Pagid pads. Are they easily available in the U.S. for the StopTech kit? Have you used other pads to offer a comparison.
Thanks,

Hi MSG,
I've been pretty happy with the Pagid Oranges. The stoptechs were shipped with Axxis Ultimates and now they have big, neon stickers saying they are street pads and not track pads. I was cracking the front pads after about two session (not very confidence inspiring when you car is shaking and shimmying as you work your brakes). I finally learned my lesson after 3 sets. The oranges are not bad for street use, but sometimes they get noisy (to be expected). I guess I have to add another checklist item before going to the track.
I've got one new set of Pagid oranges now ... as soon as I burn through them i'll give something else a try (though I have no gripes with these).

Steve,
Pagid orange are the pad of preference for Porsche Club folk, and my good friend who I do track events with really likes them. I have been itching to get them, but they are not available in the U.S. for OEM calipers. I have been using the Carbotech XP's, and like them a lot. So, not change is necessary, just would like to try the Pagids as they are highly recommended.
ANOTHER reason to do the BBK upgrade!

1.) What BBK will fit under the stock rims? 1b.) What size is the rotor?
2.) Those of you with seperate Track Tires, do you trailer your WRX to the track, or drive it?
3.) I Cannot WAIT to take a trip down to RA some day! I hear it is the best track on the East Coast, hands down!

Thanks again guys. You have given me a lot to think about. Perhaps the way to go initially is to go with 17x7.5 Rotas, and I love the idea of using a R compound tire on the street initially. I will also think seriously about the rear swaybar. What camber do you run? I would assume from past experience (all in rear drive sports cars) that you would want 2-3 degrees negative camber in the front and 1-2 degrees negative camber in the rear with R compound tires. Again thanks to everyone who has posted, this site kicks it. I am also enjoying the audio forum very much although I haven't posted yet.
| CupertinoSteve | 08-17-2003 02:11 PM |
As far as alignment ... For the street, I'm running -1.25 deg in the rear and -.5 in the front. Since the fronts are a lot easier to adjust (via camber plate), I figured I can rotate the rear tires as they begin to wear on the inside edges. For the track, i'll slide the fronts to -2.25 to -2.5 degs.

I use the TWR Racing 310 x 28 mm 4 pot BBK. Fits under the stock 16x6.5" and my Rota Subzero 18x7.5", no problem -- and stops like crazy. I dropped 50 feet at the braking zone for 10A at Road Atlanta (from 165 to 115) -- that's insane for a street car.
I drive my WRX to the track, but then again I'm only 10 minutes from Road Atlanta...:banana:
It is a great track, one of the best. Some people don't like it, but to be honest with you the people who have negative comments usually have never been here. There are some spots where the Armco is fairly close, yes, but you really shouldn't be over-driving your car in those areas. Find a comfortable spot and very gradually add speed and you'll be fine. Turn 12 comes to mind. :D Pretty scary at first but you'd be surprised how much speed you can carry through there.
If you have questions about the TWR brakes, let me know, or contact them through PM. Tell 'em I sent ya -- they'll take care of you. :D
Good luck!

For the person who asked about 225 R tires on the back of a GC8 RS:

This is my '99 with 245/45-16 front and 225/50-16 rear Kumho victos. A little rubbing on the rear strut body and lower spring perch. This was stock springs, KYB shocks. Ran an entire season of national level autocrossing on this setup.
This combo is now running on my teammates '99 2.5RS with KYB shocks and ground control coil-over kit. Lowered about 1-inch. No rubbing.
The 225/50-16 Kumho Ecsta is a little narrower than the victo.

I just thought I'd chip in with my thoughts on wheels. I've used 17X7.5 Rota Subzeros and did not have an issue with them after about 14 track days until they started to make a loud creaking sound when the car was turned. The wheels are undamaged, have not been curbed. They just became noisy. I've tried several other wheels and not heard any noise, but as soon as the Rotas go on, back comes the noise.

What suspension mods have you done?

i run the 225/50 ecstas on my MY00 stock rims (+53 btw). agx struts, that's it. plenty of room up front, the rears rub on the strut body and the fender lip but who cares :)

Do you have these as daily drivers?

The car was stock when the picture was taken...except for KYB AGX and 22mm front bar. I ran this setup nationally in G-stock.
The car now has a ground control coil-over setup, about an inch lower than stock in the front, 1.5 inch lower in rear. My teammates '99 RS has the same setup, and he just autocrossed all weekend on 245 fronts and 225 rear victos. stock '98 rs wheels.

I just did the car guys event at VIR a couple weeks ago. Fantastic track. Except for the time spent hammering out my brothers fender after he went into a guard rail on 5-5a, it was a blast.
