225?r u sure? Thats even smaller than what came on the car stock wasnt it? You will spin them like no tommorow. It would be fun, but wont be worth a **** at the track.

Break in period is 3 heat cycles. Drive for about 20 minutes let it sit for 30 mintues do this 3 times then let the good times roll. After 500-600 miles take it back and have all the shavings taken out.

My break in period was 100 miles BABYING the crap out of it, then 100 miles normal driving with highway, then the last 100 was normal to heavy driving... That part was my favorite
