Lux - agreed on the 'rest of world' spec being about an inch lower than stock US setup (that's what I was referring to with the R030 option).
I'm going to try rotating my rears next time too...but I've just sort of got used to the idea that tires are expendable, and having them go in 10-12k miles vs. 15k miles is just not a big deal in the long term scheme of things. Mind you, my front pilot sports have the same 10k miles on them and they look like they'll go another 10k.
and besides, nothing looks meaner from the rear than fat tires tucked barely inside the rear wheel wells with a bunch of negative camber...I ust love looking at the ass of my boxster.
