What tires were you running before you put the RS3s on? You changed from 17s to 18s right? What were your two different tire sizes? I would love to run at MAM you lucky dog.

Prior to putting on the 'Kooks I was running Sumitomo HTR ZRIIIs (205/50-17 front, 255/40-17 rear), which are the tires the car came with when I bought it a year ago. Rather than switch to 18s I've stuck with 17s, at least for the time being. The RS3s are 225/45-17 front and 255/40-17 rear.
Hopefully you'll get a chance to run at MAM sometime. I'm actually heading down there again tomorrow, albeit in my Mazdaspeed3 rather than the Boxster. There's a two-day "Find the Line" event at MAM on Friday and Saturday and then on Sunday I'm going to co-drive a buddy's Evo X MR during a RallyX somewhere off I-80 between Omaha and Lincoln.

Oh I will. Thats one reason for buying the boxster. I plan on going to different tracks all over the US.
I think I will skip the M030 suspension and go straight to the BSR set-up. Anyone Know the spring rates on the M030 setup?

That's something I'd like to do, too, whether it be in the Boxster or any of my other rides. It would be fun to run on different tracks around the U.S. I'd also like to make it to more autoxes around the U.S. and Canada and run at Nationals someday. For the past few years I've mainly run with our local club here but have also gone to events in North Dakota, Minnesota, and Wisconsin.
I'm afraid I don't know the M030 spring rates right offhand. The only spring rates I know for certain are those for the coilovers I'm having built for my '06 Miata.
