Got some new wheels to play with....but have a suspension?
Hey guys,
Haven't written here in a while, but I just got some new wheels. I sold the carlsson's and bought some cheap Brabus rep wheels. They are 18x8.5 all the way around with 225/40 and 255/35 potenza s03's. oh yeah 35 mm offset
My question is can I lower the car? and if so how much lower? I'm going to call Ben @ evosport today, but I thought I'd get some input here as well.
Thanks
Jeremy

should be fun!!! 1665lbs and at least 160hp....pretty good power to weight ratio! from my rudimentary number crunching I figure the car is good for a 4.59 0-60 run which is close to what the critics have quoted.
Too bad it won't be here until about a year from now!!
