[Mark CSL]

So are these Cups really that good?? (vs PS2's - which I think are immense)

You shall see on sat at knockhill if its dry me and derek will have the CUPS on :thumbs:

Once they're at their optimum operating temp there's no comparison. Dry grip is immense - leagues, worlds, solar systems, galaxies ahead of PS2 :-D
I've seen 1.5G on the data logger

most interesting thing i found when foirst fiting and driving with Cups was that feeling like the car was happy with them and it just seemed to work....

it was a strange feeling by very obvious one if i am honest :thumbs:

Sounds like fun mate! :-D

[SpineOnABap]

Yep... gave me a huge man boob as the weight shifted to the right :-D

:hahaha:

Qestion..everyone talks about the optimum operating temp for cups...how do you know...is it touchy feely until you can go round a bend without landing in the hedge.

[SMD]

Yes just car feel! If there is no under steer or tail out then they are up to temp! :thumbs:

My first time out on a brand new set of cups at knockhill i spun it on the warm up lap behind the pace car :banghead: :hahaha: :hahaha: :hahaha:

But you will know when warm when you turn your guts hit your ribs :hahaha:

[SpineOnABap]

Yes it's a 'feel thing', but you can also tell by the touch (if stationary) - just put your hand on them, they feel like chewing gum!
But beware.......... the slip angles......... sudden breakaway and you have to be quick to catch.

[bryce]

Sounds good.

IIRC, Elliot said on Mtorque its difficult to get them to temp on public roads?

[derek]

i agree with that you probably end up with less grip on the road especially in scotland, ps2 work better on road

[SMD]

Cups will be fine! After a few miles have some fun! :-D

[AlexGTT]

They are fine on the road and despite other comments, you can generate adequate temps on road. Just adapt and change your driving style. You can feel the grip levels build very easily once you get to know them.

Just one word of caution. When they're brand new they are VERY slippy slidey. They need a scrub in. On track be very cautious for 2-3 laps, as Mark found out in his post. :bigcry: :thumbs:
