not sure this is useful info Mike, but recently tried the looser rear TMS bar setting with the front set in the middle position. uncomfortably loose on track. pitch and catch is the style i think i like but this setting was too unpredictable for me. this of course is with bilsteins, no coil-overs.

Marcus, i beleive Jim P. ran Victo's for quite a while. BTW, now that you are smacking them boys in SM it is time you track the grocery getter.

New plan:

AST Coilovers, 515F/680R (maybe 570F/730R)
Vorshlag camber plates
Poly rear shock mounts
STOCK front ctrl arm bushings
RTAB limiters
GC tubular front swaybar, stock rear
D-Force 17x9 wheels
255 Kumho Victoracer V700s
Camber -3.5F -2.5R

AST are somewhat of an unknown, but would be interesting to try. Damn, I'm going to be spending some money here....


Victo's??


My priorities are (1) consistency over time and heat cycles, (2) longevity, (3) performance, (4) max width without being too tall, and (5) price. Somewhat in that order. Have a different suggestion?

The hankook z214 C70 is $199 and 24.? diameter. Just place your order for them a couple months before you actually need them.
:roll:

If I had the money I would get the D-force 18x9 and the V710 245/35 18.

Hankook better than the Kumho Victo's? You got me thinking about the 18" wheels now...

Ask Aaron about the kook's. He is the only person I know of that has actually used them. No one actually keeps them in stock so you usually have to wait a while to get them.
