Standard P1 suspension,but with 225/35/18 tyres because 225/40/18 would rub,tyres are more expensive,but handles like nothing else i,ve ever driven

Coilovers mate they r becoming cheaper and cheaper now and u can set the car up exactly how u want then get the geometry done at MOCOM and your car will be transformed. Thats a promise as well!!!!!

Check my garage for pics mate

Yeah,mine does a bit,especialy compared to 17,s.I dont think you can get away with 225/40,s though cos they would rub,which is a pity,because theres a fair diffrence in price.Those wheels areby the way,what are they,are they 22b wheels??

How do you find the handling vs when you were on 17's? Trying to decide between 17's and 18's.
