Nice car!

First mod: springs to lower the car. Too much wheel gap!

I think a lot of that wheel gap will disappear when the correct tire size it put back on the car. The car is a stage 1, which I THOUGHT has the appearance and suspension package already [&:] If it is stage 2 that gets the suspension, then perhaps adding the suspension package would be in order. But first mod IMO would be correct tires.

Welcome aboard

Good looking car Mark!

The Jazzman and I(I was partly responsible for converting Jazzer to the Church of Latter Day Traction) run Michelin Pilots with success. They sell 295/35/18 and 265/35/18 sizes as well.

Whatever you get......do this exercise to help prepare you for the purchase.

First, crumple a large sum ofmoney up into a pyramid like pile. Next, run, don't walk, and find the nearest waste basket.........now quickly throw that pile of money in the garbage
