Cheers for the comments guys.

Will probably be keeping it sleeper-spec for a while, big rims and low suspension doesn't really appeal too much to me. I prefere seeing the look on the other blokes face after he's just been hosed by a stocker looking barge :)

Though the rear suspension will be treated to some HHD (FE2 or SL) with a camber kit soon - chopping out the rear tyres too bad at the moment, and the squat off the line is pretty bad.

Just got 2x Kumho KU31's (225/55/16) for the rear end... Basically it feels like a new car - the Fulda's (215/60) would just spin on any rpm launch and were a generally terrible tyre. The KU31's are brilliant, so far I love em, 2,500rpm launches on the street with minimal wheelspin. Hope that will improve my 60ft time and bring the ET down a bit more :)


KU31 vs Turanza... mmm.
