Beautiful! How was your handling affected? Have you noticed a reduced sharpness? I'm assuming acceleration and braking is improved?
Handling hasn't been negatively affected at all. There is way better traction due to the tires so a lot less wheel hop. There is a small difference in speed. For example the speedo will say 80mph but really I'm doing 76mph.

@frtorres87 which shop did the spring install for you? I'm looking for a shop that had experience with installing springs on the Type R and don't mind a drive to NJ to make sure it's done right. My local shop is great, but the front suspension of this car is a little tricky.

I ran them on the street for 6 months. I was a little weary of no locks and parking at times in Atlanta. I bought a second set of T7 track wheels and decided to keep the T7 lugs for them. Went back to a set of monster lugs with a set of locks for the street wheels. Other the security, I would run them on the street.

You could always buy a set of just monster locks and slap them on if worried about theft

@frtorres87 Looks great on the car. The 265/35's look like they sit square on the wheel or are they a little stretched?

I'm looking at 275/35 PS4's on 9.5" but don't want them to balloon over the lip.

I think they are square

275 should run fine ive seen people run 285/35 as long as you arnt lowered 2" or more should be fine 265/35 is the optimal from what i understand

White TS5s on 265/35. I could run a 275 upfront but I'd be wary of the overall height. The car will rub under hard compressions as it is.

Thanks for the replies everyone.

@HybridRacing I'm surprised it's a height issue. 275/35 vs 265/35 is 0.28" taller. What is rubbing? Would a higher offset (ex. +55) help?

Yes, negative camber in the front or a less aggressive offset would help. The +35s rub the outer wheel arch, near the market light and inner fender.
