If you want to get a bit more aggressive, look at the Nitto NT-01. I've used them as well as the Toyo RA-1 and like the Nitto MUCH better. they supposedly have the same carcass, but different compound and tread pattern- but I've found the sidewall on the NT-01 to be noticeably stiffer than the RA-1. with those tires though, you're going to have to run some insane camber up front to keep from eating the outer sidewalls off. something in the 4-5 deg range, which will throw your ackerman and bump steer all out of whack to get that much camber.
Whatever you use, make sure you get something with an EXTREMELY stiff sidewall and make sure they work well for nose-heavy FWD cars..

Matt, what do you think of Goodyear F1 and Yokohama Neova? Both of them seem to be at the top of every tire comparison list, yet I never see/hear people actually using them.
