I'd seen pictures before and not liked them but after Sunday I was sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrislak Donating Members 400 Member For: 21y 11m 19d Location: Sydney Posted 03/09/03 07:00 AM Author Share Posted 03/09/03 07:00 AM I went with 275x35 on the rear and 245x35 front, no more rotating wheels. I'm going to have the car lowered by one inch soon and replace the shocks with aftermarket bilsteins re valved to a targa spec rate by Heasmans in Sydney, they did a lot a work on my XY, in my opion one of the best suspension workshops in Sydney.
