besides the auto-x mantra "PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE" I would chose race tires over coilovers, but then again thats what I did and now I have to upgrade suspension cause car is to unsettled to use the r-compounds effectively. And I think you will be able to get plenty of heat in a 245 on a good day, especially with the extra HP, not to mention you run the s14 which carries a little more weight than s13. If you were happy with your suspension in sts than it will "work" for you in SM with the race tires. Though you will notice more body roll, squat/lift from the added grip, which in turn will make your suspension feel less effective.

Thats for the input on r-comps, i have re-thought things again and i know i'll need suspension upgrades to handle the better tires so...... Its either going to be stock SE sized azenis or 225ish/50/16 summer tires on some lighter wheels. After that either upgrade to coilovers or upgrade sway bars. I just cant wait to drive so we'll see. Thanks for all the input again.
