This Sunday I will be trying out a new setup I'm been pondering for a couple of months.

2000 Honda Civic Si
350f/400r springs
Koni Yellows (off the shelf)
-2.8 front camber, -1.5 rear
0 toe front and rear
Comptech rear sway bar

What I used to have was 15x7" Kosei K1s with 45mm offset and 205/50x15" Azenis. Now I am going to try some 16x7" Rota C8s with 215/45x16" (about 1-2mm of tread on all tires).

What pressures do you guys recommend? I was using 34-36f/37-40r on my 205/50x15" Azenis.

 

start with the same. You may have a little more grip in the front and rear so just start where you did before and play with them.

You're running higher in the rear? After I installed the Comptech bar on my EX, I started getting snap oversteer, and had to lower the pressures and soften the shocks in the rear (42f / 36r). I'm still trying to get it right so that the oversteer is predictable.

 

When I tried 42f/45-47r I was getting snap oversteer. With my 205/50x15" at those above pressures it was just about perfect.

Well I went out on them today just to see and I didn't notice a HUGE gearing change - with the tires being almost bald. But they RUBBED so bad in the back and also they catch every road imperfection on the road. You have to keep both hands on the steering wheel. Grip feels much better, but we will see at Autocrossers Incorporated's autocross on Sunday.
