not when you get stuck in inside lane and need to overtake even i know in 5th i cant go from 60 to 90 in about 2 secs before the next car in the outside lane takes me out,so have to drop it a cog or two. | |

then u wouldnt need to change into third, surely with an engine of that power you dont need to change down a gear atall, just playing silly buggers really. | |

with smaller wheels on the car accelerates quicker hence more wheelspin. | |

How much are the koni adjustables and how much can they lower by. Want to set it around 40-50mm. Will there be problems fitting them with 17's as ive heard some kits like the spax RSX wont fit without spacers. | |

not if u stick the same width tyres on they wont be any worse. | |

but with smaler wheels on the front they just spin up for fun , in the wet on a motorway if i pull out to overtake in 3rd it will start spinning. | |

i have no problem with handling on 17s , you know when the front ends going to break away plus i have the added weight in the front. | |

Hmm was thinking of getting smaller wheels but i havent had my 17's for long and i like them:) | |

its the 17's which kill handling, im not shitting you, went from 17's too 13's and in the dry they handle the same. its cos they are so heavy they cause it too understeer. u need smaller wheels and some adjustables :) | |

Ive heard that the spax RSX wont fit with 17's on, is that the case with all coilovers, if so then i might have to look elsewhere. | |

i have avo adjustables,lowered 40mm all round. but i changed the back springs for 60 mm nova springs, bit of a harsh ride but handles nicely,i have them wound up quite hard though. | |
