Yeah, I am. I really like the idea of the product. This is the very last chance but my car is in storage so it doesn't really matter right now.

I don't really know if that's the case, but they definitely have good feel for normal street driving (basically up to small slip angles). They're also surprisingly good in the wet-- they feel at least as good in the rain as the old Z1 Star Specs I had on my GTI did.
Hope this helps. Do post your impressions if/when you get the PSSs! I'm thinking of getting a set soon as well... still trying to decide between 215s and 225s on my 17x7.5s.

I will post my impressions, but it'll be at least March before I see my car.

Could be that there's some difference in breakaway characteristics under power vs under lateral g loading or a combo of the two, or, it could be that something in the suspension setup difference between the two cars leads them into being less progressive.

That was my thought to, different platforms will respond differently. I know my old 2.5i on RE11's was great until a point, then all hell broke loose.
