On a related note, what's the next best source for Bridgestones after Costco? Costco's selection of RE-71R tire sizes seems pretty limited -- I don't know if this is a new thing, or if it's always been that way.
Are you referencing their website? I am certain they have access to any size that the tire is produced in but don't advertise them all. For example, they don't show the 285/30/18 RE71R on their website, but the last time I was at a Costco I was able to get a quote for that tire. I would suggest either calling them first thing in the morning, you might get lucky and they will give you a quote over the phone (they aren't supposed to do this) or you will have to go to a store in person.
What sort of price is costco quoting for 285 30r18 RE71's?

No chance to reinstall carpets, rear seats etc... They are all glued in at the factory and are destroyed upon removal...
Looks like XP is the most appropriate class, Boy are the classifications confusing and complex...
Thanks everyone, looking forward to meeting you guys on Sunday..

I believe with the engine work and rear seat removal you will likely be in E Mod.
Thanks Stuart...

I see we have a Caymen GT4 at this weekends event, C Street, really !
At least on the track, stock they are an understeering pig... Takes quite alot of mods to get them to turn in crisply... Will be very interesting to see how it performs on Sunday.
Adjustable sway bars on both ends, massive camber adjustment range front and rear, perfect 50/50 weight distribution...sound like a stock/street class nightmare!
Jokes aside, I don't know the owner but the cars have proven to be one of the quickest classed for street...
I have no experience with autocrossing these cars, however do know what they need for the track. Don't get me wrong, out of the box they are very good, and i have no doubt they class well, however there is a cost. They are only getting one weekend out of a set of front tires (1 tank of gas) And at approx $650 a tire it can get very expensive. They do have some camber adjustment front and rear, however the factory max is variable with most less that 1.5 degrees, some have been higher. However as you add more camber you need to adjust castor and the stock setup does not allow enough castor adjustment to compensate for the camber. The camber adjustment adds a large amount of castor, making the front of the car quite dull, the only way to adjust is aftermarket monoballed links... Also as you add camber beyond 1.5 degrees, you end-up running out of thread on the tie rods, necessitating aftermarket tie rods. The rear has similar issues. I have been working on a friends car to get it dialed in for the track, so far i think he is at around $6k in parts to get the aggressive alignment he wants for the track -2.5 front, -2.2 rear and still be able to keep the rest of the alignment numbers in spec.
