Look at most race cars they don't have 20's, V8 super cars have 18's Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/84441-want-to-handle-like-my-dc5r/page/2/#findComment-1375946 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a price just for the coilovers for $2k and $2.5k fitted. I'll get them one day.

Erko Donating Members 1,079 Member For: 21y 7m 4d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 30/03/13 10:43 AM Share Posted 30/03/13 10:43 AM Shockworks coilovers and superpro control arm bushes, aggressive alignment, forged or light cast wide wheels and sticky rubber will make a big difference. Then learn how to drive it. Though a Oz DC5R, isn't the real deal and not a patch on the JDM DC5R (or Oz DC2R for that matter) it will always feel more nimble.
