hey, good to see that im not the only lunatic sittin on the www at this hour of the morning!

yep - the $7 brake pads can do it every time. Try a set of compII pads - a decent rally/race place will be able to sort you out with them, and tell you the optimum temperatures for them. Metal kings just give your rotors a good polishing and last forever while they are doin it. Rotor wear is not a good-thing.

I was racking on about my girl and her e36 bmw - handled fine till she did the 17" 55 series tyres and the stiffer suspension. Body roll is non-existant, but it bounces and hunts when you are mid corner and find a pothole or six (blame the govt, not me :-
) i am quite fond of the soft spring/hard shock setup that i have now, although my hands are tied when it comes to doing anything radical to the car else itll put me in a class where i have to compete against 3litre V6 - not happy when i have 1500cc to work with.

My whole post (the one i deleted) was about giving our friend something to consider other than the usual showroom hype -
H U G E shiny rims = hot looks/fighter plane handling/lotsa chix drooling hehe. A car is a complete package and we just cant go and do mind blowing alterations to one bit without sussing out what its going to do to the other things around it. Not if we wanna stay on the road that is. Dragging your car out of the side of a mountain is not a happy experience I can promise you - as soon as we find out that we can walk, we start cursing the bent bits and the railings and the panel shop bills. Rims are not noted for their stickiness - its the tyres that keep our cars glued to the ground, and it is my firm belief that we should give em more than a bit of thought before we go out and play gladiator with the traffic coz theres always something trying to kill us on the roads.

You got a damn good deal with those rims - well done! just dont let some scuzz pinch them - my mate lost the factory rims off his VT SS dunnydore from under his carport while he was sleeping!
