Has anyone noticed that our cars really don't like braking and turning? I know that braking in a straight line and then turning is usually the fastest and best way of doing things, but the autocross I was at today had a decreasing radius element that basically required me to brake while I was...

Posting this for a good buddy of mine: Literally the cleanest CAR I've ever seen, still even has the plastic on the door kick panels and everything. Anyone interested, feel free to shoot me a PM.

So the GTI with suspension mods gets put in STX, where the maximum tire width is 265mm and the maximum wheel width is 9.0in. What's the widest wheel people run with stock fenders? I'll likely be on DriverGear springs. I'm thinking I could probably fit 245s on a 17x8, but I dunno.

So I came across what may be a killer deal on a set of DOT racing slicks from a local guy getting a different car. Anyway, my question is, will slicks even be worth it for me, and will I even be able to make use of them? I'm planning on just autocrossing in GS this summer, with maybe a...
