    Thanks for all the advice!

    So, maybe the "right" thing for me to do is just get some lighter wheels and better tires, and not make any suspension mods at this time.

    Given the differential issue, does it make sense to go with asymetric tires on the 335, or stick with 245s on all 4 wheels?

    On a slightly different topic, does anyone have an opinion on tire pressure gauges? I like the concept of the Psiclops that can balance two tires at once, but is it a good gauge? Should I stick with a Longacre?

    One of my colleagues recommended upgrading the brake pads; any suggestions on what works well for the 335 (are the "dustless" pads really dustless?)

    i run staggered tire setup, but obviously the tradeoff of more rear grip is more rear weight. as for tire gauges, i just use the standard $5 one you can get anywhere. i'm sure others will chime in.

    as for the dustless pads, i use the axxis deluxe ones. they giveoff very little dust, prob about 90+% less. axxis also makes a track pad.

    as fas as using dustless pads for autox, not sure if its a hinderance or not. i use them on my e92 and x5, but havent put them on my roadster (which is what i use to autox). the brakes feel a little more squishy with these pads, and they probably don't stop as quick as OEM; however, they do perform very well and i have no problems with them.

    Ive got Carbotech pads for the 335 in stock. Bobcat for street and XP16 for track. I had Robin Sparrow use the XP16s for OneLap and he liked em very much!

    The Bobcat street/autoX pads should be low dust (more of a reddish dust than dark black).

    I bought a bunch of inventory before price increase and will leave prices until I run out of stock on them. Retail now is $180. Sale price on our site is $149.
