Cup2 or PS4S. Already done MPSS, then MP4S. Will I notice a step to Cup2?

I would think so. If not for the dry grip then for the noise and degraded ride quality!

I'm on third set. Give them a try. You're in Melbourne right? Only on the coldest days are they a bit sketchy.

Country Vic, a bit warmer than Melb. My only concern is if/when I get to track days (350-600 km drive) I get caught in a downpour, I'm stuck at the side of the road scared of aquaplaning off.

They're fine in the rain. Just be careful as you normally would for standing water. I've never had a close call.

Go for it!

Ps when you're up for a track day let us know so we can get a posse.

You're not gonna make your way to The Bend any time soon? The whole "track day insurance" $10k cover BS leads me to thinking a Bike focused track like Tailem Bend will lead to less tears if you have an off! I'll start a thread/invite and then pump the accomodation & local car club to get a good rate?
