BP ultimate is poor it's barely 97ron, vpower is much better on my setup on the same day simply tuning on vpower I could advance timing nearly 2 degrees and yielded over 20 bhp.

Chris at EFi is very good, nice fella and well priced.

I would avoid AD08's Trunkz unless it will only be a warm dry weather car...

I find that a strange comment when I've found AD08Rs far better year-round than my old OEM-spec RE050.

When i ran them they slid very easily in wet conditions compared to re050's and michelin cups.

They need heat to work, without it they are not very forgiving.

I don't tend to drive my car much in the wet if i do, I'll only open it up a little in the rain but they have been fine in the wet.

Do remember though the older the tyre, the harder it gets, the less grip it has so if your tyres are 2 years old say and you compare them to brand new rubber it wont be fair.

My RE050's wheel spin like mad in the wet but when driving around i found them much more stable than AD08R's

I hope that is the case, as I have a square set up of 245/40s AD08Rs going on the car as soon as my spare set of rear 17" V1 wheels have been machined to the 70.1mm front bore size. I actually love the way the car slides on the RE50s in the wet (the only time it has enough power to break traction on the road LOL).

However, nothing can be as bad as Cups, sub 10°C and 360PS anyway, where the S2000 (well mine being NA) hasn't got the power to pull the skin off a rice(r) pudding .

let me know how that handles, in 2 minds as to whether a square setup on the s2000 is a good idea or not. My friend bought a square setup m3 and was awful at silverstone.

Will do. I already run 10k all round, so figured that the square set up would suit my driving style (I like some rotation).
