Thanks - pics don't show them well, but they look great from all angles and work awesome with the blue. I'll take more pics outside of the garage.
Yeah my pressures are still too high probably. At my last even Frank Dam ('99, 225 R1R) settled at 26.5 all around and seemed to do well with that, I was at 29F 27R I believe and threw my last run away chasing the rear end :lol: . I'm still getting used to not needing a lot of pressure, not only for the R1R, but for 225's on the Miata.

I've been running them this year also. I've found they are happiest around 28psi all around on my car. I've always sprayed between runs except for yesterday. My fastest run was my last run where I dropped a complete second from my time(also 2nd fastest overall ) so I may try them with a little more heat in them at the next event, but at the same psi
