Yesterday I lowered my super s and swapped my drag ways off it for some 15" mini wheels. Need to do the panhard bar and then its sorted.

in a 15 would be best for choice. If you need to drive on them around town or to the track, Climberjoel has shown that Toyo R1Rs are a very effective tyre that worId work well from cold. If you have dedicated track rims then the sky is the limit lol. I have Hankook z214 in soft compound, not road legal in Aus but great at wakefield!

Heat up fast which is great for hillclimbs, but they are not suited to doing many laps. well priced, I paid under $600 for a set. Im thinking of trying Federal RSR's next, as they are supposed to suit track time a bit better than the R1R's edit: Ty - everyone knows slicks are cheating! :D |

No I didn't install sway bars.
Probably about a 60 mm drop I reckon. Panhard rod to go on this weekend. |
