Anyhow, here's my fast lap for the day from today:

Car: 997.2 GT3 RS
Track: Buttonwillow 13CW
Best Lap Time: 1:57.72
Brakes: OEM w/ME20 Endless pads & Endless fluid
Suspension: OEM with RS front lip
Mods: Fabspeed track pipes
Tire (Street/Race): NT01s (front) and RA1s (rear)
How was the balance with the RA-1s on the rear? Hopefully they were worn or shaved first.

Thinking about it for a second, I could see where this combo could be an advantage. Softer sidewalls of the RA-1 allow for more bite upon acceleration. Rubber compounds are exactly the same, so no grip issues, just balance issues would be my guess.
