I went back to standard ba 17's, and even with a cheaper 255 tyre, traction is 4x better then my 19's. 19's felt like I was in the wet compared to the 17's.

I have Goodyear F1 Assymetric 2 245 35 19 with 323rwkw. Can (mostly, not always) get traction through second at wot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not like I've just been looking at Lenso D1R's for the past hour or anything... haha. Sorry mate, just looked a little different in the picture.Tryna figure out whats gonna look best on white... I like black, but not so keen without any lip... I like black with the red lip but not sure if I like it enough. Not keen on silver/chrome... And don't mind white with red lip.... Too many choices haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And did you have any issues fitting want you wanted with the D1R's?I'm thinking going some DBA T3 4000 Cross Drilled/Slotted with Bendix SRT pads...

I love brembo's too, were great on my old BFII Phoon. Had sh*t tyres on it though so didn't help much haha. Honestly though I personally don't think I could justify the money for them if they didn't come on whatever car I bought. Also TomT it looks like you've lowered it... Have you just chucked some springs on? Or have you gone like, Tein adjustable suspension pack? If just springs (like kings or something), do you find that at all affects the traction? I'd imagine it would a little bit... Feel free to correct me if im wrong anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
