I have PS4S with DRM shocks. Great ride, very planted, no tire noise.

Same here PS4’s DRM shocks with poly bushings. Ride is excellent and control is the rear suspension is much improved.

PS4’s mounted with the DRM’s has been an excellent combination.
Love the ride and feel.

Define "best." The vast majority of people can't (and shouldn't try to) extract the difference in performance between a PS4S and a Cup 2 but they will see the downsides in the form of much faster wear and worse performance in wet or cold conditions. Get the PS4S and be done with it.

It depends on how much power you're trying to plant. At 850whp+ I like the Toyo R888R. Cup 2s did well from third gear on (so so if veeery careful on a hot day in 2nd gear) and the 888s absolutely dead hook 2nd anytime and flirt well with hooking 1st if you're gentle with the right foot. For boring (sane) HP I'd go with the PS4.

Had Cup 2 prior and but running R888R the past 2 years for street only with DRMs. PS4S if you daily or drive in the rain.

These are great comments. Thank you! Leaning PS4 in case I get caught in rain. Those CUP 2 tires just look sooooooo cool.
