Got some 225/40/r18 on my LCR up front. Got them about 1000 miles ago so they are scrubbed in. Performance in the wet isn't quite as good as the GSD3's they replaced but dry performance is comparable.
Decent budget tyre. When my rears go I'll be getting another 2 for sure. They look good too.
I got mine from Camskill.co.uk

Got four on my LCR. They took an absolute punishing round donington, after only being 1000 miles old. The tread hardly rolled at all (good considering I was squealing them for 99% of the track 
), the grip was fantastic (had F1s before), and the price is spot on.
Oh yeah, they haven't even worn that much given they have done a day at the track.

I've got these on my 350z at the moment and haven't had any problems.
They seem to hold well dry and in the wet but that's on roads only. Never taken it to a track yet, so don't know how they would perform.
But for the price, they are very good tyres.

Perhaps but apparently these are better?

wow
Thanks people. I think I will get these
Yeah, thats where I will be buying mine from, too
Nope. FK452s in 215/40/18 are ~£65 and Proxies in the same size are ~£90-95

I've got a pair on the back of my 330i sport. Had no problems in the wet or dry. If anything, the car understeers a little more now on the limit (or so I'm guessing, wouldn't really dream of driving like that on a normal road...), infering that the fronts are not as grippy. For the price, but of a steal as they were a good third cheaper than Eagles.

Have them on my Z4, they seem to lack grip when completely cold, 2/3 minutes into a drive and they are fine. Much nicer ride/performance than the runflats I had before.
Didn't realise these where cheaper then the proxies, sure they were the same price last time I checked.
Only an extra £40 for the set of proxies for me at 225/45/17 so I would be putting my money on them, worked well on the astra.

I have FK452's on the Cerbera. They seem pretty good for grip at the moment, but my dampers need sorting out so I can't say whether any lack of grip is due to the tyres, or the suspension itself. However, the grip seems very good for the price!

Can you not get eagle f1s?
They are the best imo

From what ive heard and read they arnt so good with MR2s due to the soft side walls.

I agree, IF you want them to last a few weeks.
Unsurpassed levels of grip, but utterly utterly shocking wear rates.
This was just under 5000 miles!
