I have to say that I am not overly impressed with the Spec B package. When you are pushing hard, it performs very well. Pushing hard, though, is a combination of full throttle runs and flinging yourself through corners at speeds that would even frighten the legendary Tokyo Taxi drivers, of whom even the most hardened street racer holds in awe. Driving it in a sedate manner highlighted the shortcomings of that suspension, with a jiggly ride that had you and your passengers feeling literally *every* bump, ripple, candy wrapper and the odd ant on the road. There was a layer of isolation from them, in that they never felt particularly jarring or sharp, but it felt on tippytoes at all times, always jiggling as I was driving down all but the smoothest of roads.

Part of this can be attributed to the RE050's, which have uberstiff sidewalls. I drove an STi Legacy package with Pirelli P-Zero Nero's, and those sidewalls were much more adept at absorbing the little niggles. The tradeoff was that it didn't feel as sharp as even the GT at that point.

I do like how stiff the sidewalls of the RE050As are. I thought the Neros would be the same though.

I also love the progressive breakaway of the RE050As which, combined with the stiff sidewalls, makes it very easy to drive on the limit.
I just wish they had more grip!!!
