Mate,

I bought a set of 15 x 7 +25 RB rota's today from Rota in Perth, they were actually $80 cheaper than if I bought them in from the USA, so I was very happy, I am getting 205 x 55 x 15 potenzas fitted tomorrow so it should be a good thing and I have been told by many from this forum that that tyre and wheel combo fits no worries even if I lower the car a bit:)

I am going to order the yellow speed coil overs from Mania, they are a good price and people have recommended them to me.

Cheers

If its comfort AND excellent track performance you are after, yellowspeed might not fit the bill.

Infact in general budget coilovers simply arent going to be able to both perform very well, and be comfortable.

The race ones perform well, and the street ones are comfy, there isnt a lot of crossover. Where as a high end coilover can achieve both, as can an excellent shock/spring combo, with the downside being lack of any adjustment.

Gsl rallysport would be another local option

Doesn't happen at speed, but it's consistent, and very annoying. Waiting on a low profile jack to lift the car up and replace the gearbox/diff oil and see if that makes any sort of difference, or it could be the power steering playing up?


Hey, I'm not the expert on this, nor should you take my word for gospel, but what you are describe could mean that somebody has welded the diff? Have a look on websites like the driftworks forum, some people have said that is a side effect?
