Wheels and suspension
« on: 26 March 2016, 22:00 »
Hello there,
I wanted to upgrade the 16" alloys on my 2.8 to the R32 type, as they are 18 inches (I think) is it best to lower the car a bit to avoid that stilts look, if so how much height drop is best? I live in Wales so no serious drops and want to avoid coilovers if poss,I like my spine!!  :smiley:. Also what brand tyres do you recommend for a 4motion?

thanks in advance

MR LG  :grin:

40mm drop is the best for comfort/style. Don't be tempted to just go for springs, your standard shocks will soon spit their dummies...
