The 285/35 is the same diameter as the 255/40. Either will fit. Remember, the taller tire increases ride height by the difference of the radius.

IIRC, they went B/O after the factory closed due to covid, by the time the last of them made it to the US it was 6 months ago. I'm willing to take my chances that there won't be another catastrophic worldwide manufacturing shutdown for a few months. I already have the summer wheels for my other...

LOL, I'm in no hurry. I'm looking forward to a square 19x10 set in gloss black for summer tires but they'll just take up space until March. If there's a sale, great, if not, I don't need them now. I also haven't ruled out the S350 wheels...

Hmmm, I've seen a few cases where the 19x11 are lighter than the 19x10, I wonder if that's the case here. Maybe the listed weight is for the 19x10. Anyone weighed a 19x10 yet?

Which size?

Most manufacturers only recommend up to a 255 on 8.5" wheels and that's the high end so it's already wider than optimum. I just replaced my original tires with Conti EC DWS (all seasons for winter use on original Black Accent wheels) and the difference is night and day. I hope to ha e a set of...

There seems to be a big difference between the 15-17 EB and the 18 & up, with the front end seeming a bit stiffer. The bulk of the weight difference between the EB and GT, less than 200 lbs, is in the front end since the cars are virtually identical other than the engines. My '19 came with the...

I'd take these over the OEM regardless of price. The OEM are cast, that equals heavy and not very strong. These are rotary forged, so lighter and stronger.

Or any decent brand/model....

I do I don't remember seeing them ever being discontinued, just out of stock for 6 months. I've been hoping they'd be back by black Friday.

Hard pass. As mentioned by others earlier, the PP1 dampers are marginally better than the base version. They'd probably be great with the stock springs but they're already at the limit with the PP1 springs (which are all of 6% stiffer if memory serves). They are inadequate with anything beyond...

EBPP/GT brakes are a nice upgrade and can be found pretty cheap. Skip the stop the hop stuff. There are better solutions out there, take a look at the BMR CB005, less complex and more rigid. Even the CB010 or the Steeda equivalent will get you most of the way there. I went with the CB010 with...

You just reminded me of how I used to explain autox; it's like a road course without the long, boring straights.

I'm just thinking that the OP is already planning to change the springs, bars are nice but dampers are a "while you're in there" thing.

I'm very surprised that only a few people have mentioned upgrading the shocks and struts. The dampers on these cars are mediocre at best with the stock springs and need to be upgraded any time the springs are changed.

Those dampers seem to be way overpriced IMO, for just a few bucks more you can find the FRPP package (M-18000-F) which includes jounce bumpers, boots, spring seats and better dampers. Springs are a common addition to an upgrade like this and can be had from a number of good suppliers in various...

Now that you mention it, I guess it is kind of high for what it is. I'd always seen it as a bargain compared to Steeda's version. Price aside, I'll stick with the BMR product. I don't see "softer" being an improvement and the Steeda kit doesn't do it for me. I feel like I'm ragging on the...

That Whiteline kit looks very similar to the CB010, but at a fraction of the cost. What am I missing? There's a thread that announced the release of the CB762 that had a bit of discussion concerning it's use in conjunction with other kits. Bmr input is that the CB005/CB762 combination is about...

The strut tower, cowl and K-braces are standard on PP1, PP2 and EBPP cars. Certain other cars/options will get you some of the parts, I think convertibles get the cowl brace and 20" wheels come with the K-brace. My car came with the K-brace and PP sway bars, I have no idea why.

I'd put the dampers near the top of the list, but you do need to have the chassis tightened up a bit to get the most out of it. My build budget was tight as well, I spent a year gathering parts before finally installing a bunch of upgrades all at once. My very first upgrade was the front...
