I like them a lot more than the potenza tires the car comes with...these are WAY quieter. I think grip and performance is about the same though....maybe a little more grip, but not a noticable difference.

I'm not an extreme driver, so I'm guessing even 75% to 80% of the capability of the Goodyears would suit me just fine. What are your thoughts?
i say go for it. More $$ always means better product :D at least it does in my little world.

do you like how the car handles? I'm sure body roll is about zero for you, but how else does it handle?

Here are some pics of my 04 manual I bought about a month ago. I have put wheels and exhaust on it. Soon to be dropped and a RP supercat installed. Tell me what you think of the wheels?

From a distance and direct side view, I see a lot of rotor. Can't say I like that view. But a lot of times I like the way a wheel looks when its rollin ...

Thanks Raptor!
All pictures were taken with my Canon Digital Rebel XT. You can find out about the settings by going to my flickr page (linked above) and on the right side of the picture there is a "more properties" option that'll answer all of your setting questions. Most were taken in fully automatic as I was supposed to be running errands, but couldn't resist stopping to snap a few pics.
I bought the bulbs off of a forum member. They're 8,000K HID bulbs. They do put out less light in the evening, but the output can still be considered bright.

I like that one a lot for some reason, I guess it reminds me of washing my car in the evening, and considering your car is almost identical to mine.
It would behoove you to get clear corners though
The automatic photos look like they have the same lighting as your manual photos, despite the automatic having a default ISO of 800...hmmm
