good move. I've run Bridgestone RE050 PP's for some time and thought they were ok, but when I needed to replace the rears and Bridgestone discontinued the 295's, I put 4 Michelin PS2's on the car. The traction rate is the same, the PS2'S do have a slightly lower wear rating, but the grip and ride with the PS2's is superior to the Bridgestone.

you were right to get four at the same time. big problems happen when not running matching pairs front and back. been there, done that...

Hello Stone, got a question for you...I can't remember if you were on the East coast but when you mentioned doing the IMS and clutch (plus) on your C4S actually a few questions come to mind. At 42k miles on my 04 I haven't done that yet but I have been looking into it with cost ranging from 2500 to near 4k. That said, do you mind sharing who did the work for you, cost, quality of work and your level of satisfaction with the shop and work done?

Thanks in advance for any information
.

Check your PM. Sorry man.... missed this question completely.

Greetings all. Long time lurker, but figure I'd finally post now that I am a 996 owner. I recently picked up a 2004 C4S, so far I'm quite happy with it. I'll probably sticking to tech forums and asking lots of nerdy questions.
