Hello everybody,

In Spain the GR86 reservation is going to be different from the rest of the world, they are only going to sell the base version (due to emission penalties) but in exchange they are going to offer 2 packs as extra (from Toyota Spain, we do not even know if the extras are aftermarket or official GR parts.)

-The first one will be 18" aluminium wheels + PS4S Wheels 225/40 + GR pads for 2500€.
-The second one is 18" forged wheels + Michelin Sport Cup 2 225/40 wheels + 4 piston front brakes + drilled discs for 5000€.

I wanted to ask you, since you have been using the car for some time in the forum, do you think it is worth buying the packs (beyond aesthetics) for a use outside the circuit? do you consider that the car needs that improvement? I repeat a occasional use of the car with some cornering route and at most 1 or 2 times a year circuit.

Thank you!
