    Well, thanks......

    Let me just be clear. The car drives like it's just come off the forecourt, it's tight, responsive and smooth. I'm happy with the handling as is really, like the smoother ride compared to my figity porsche. But from a looks point of view i'd like to drop her a little with 18's cup 1's or 2's (undecided). Once I've upgraded the engine and got used to her it seems then would be a good idea to change bushes, shocks etc?

    Perhaps some HR lowering springs to start with? How does this sound.
    As per the other thread. I would go with the wheel 'upgrade' first.......think tyre would be 225/35/18 but would need double checking

            18'' is usually a wider wheel ?

              Those tyres will fit 18 x 8 J or 18 x 8.5 J with no problems.

              Those two are the ones which retain speedo speeds and rolling radius near stock.
