Michael They are crap give me his number

No they will be the new cups if they look slightly different
i think they are almost the same.
Are the the right size as the porsche has wider rears than a csl.

Will they be the same as the e92M3 Mark? Cup+ I think they call them.

Cup+ like the E92 M3 have better wet weather performance but as a trade off to dry grip. Compund mix is different to Cups and also check if they are N rated in which case you will find the rears have stiffer sidewalks for rear engined cars although this may only be appropriate for PS2.

Also you will prob find the profile size slightly out!

The fronts will be worth having but i think the rears will be the wrong size etc!

There is more than 5mm of thread too, isn't there?

Hence they might not be as new as they look?
