Took the car out for a blast this evening, I am very happy with the way the car behaves with the coils on but it is still under steering a little. May be because I'm running summer tyres and the temp was around 5-6 degrees. So I'm going to start looking into anti lift kits and ARB once the wheels are ordered and my holiday is out of the way.

Anyone had any experiences with these? Do they help cure the under steer at all or is it something I'm going to just have to get used too?

Also will be looking at getting a little more power out of her as it's just not enough anymore so after I have paid my insurance and my holiday is out of the way I will start spending a little more money on her. Been given a quote for a custom DPF back exhaust which I'm happy with but don't want anything too in your face so will have to do a little more research before I hand over my hard earned.

Had a little play with an old photo last night. Cant wait for the weather to be good again so I can detail her.

ET40 and 8.5s are really going to be pushing the boundaries

I think you may be right. Does anyone know the size and offset for the LE wheels. I cant find it anywhere and I could be able to do a calculation then to see what would be best. 

[SNH]

My zeniths were et51

My current are

8.5x18

ET25

Can't see 40 being much of an issue

[Brimma]

You could always buy these, spend £200 on a refurb, and still have a bargain  

 

(No vested interest of course)

Have you tried looking up Team Dynamics Monza R on alloy wheel websites, they normally give you that kind of info.

Just used 101 tyres to do a quick calculation. Assuming my wheels are 7.5x18 et45, ( http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/performance/team-dynamics-alloy-wheels/team-dynamics-monza-r-alloy-wheels-set-of-4 )The new wheels at 8.5x18 et40 will be 8mm closer to the strut and sit 18mm further out than normal.  

 

I think it may be okay. When I dop the back a little I will get my trusty tape out. 

[SNH]

Just close your eyes and slap them on......

That's what I did

[Zuhayb]

Any updates? You just disappeared off the radar lol

[Guest]

Nope, no updates yet. Still quietly deciding about wheels. I really can't decide on one set.

One minute I want to go OEM and buy neptunes or zeniths. Then I was the 3sdm's then I'm looking at something a little different. I'm confusing my self ATM!

As soon as I have made a purchase I will update!!

[Zuhayb]

I won't go for OEM, as your Octy will look stock (again). If I were you I would go for 3sdm 0.01, they definitely stand our from the crowd. 

[jmattley]

3DSM! They look grrrrrreat!

[Zuhayb]

2 against 1 buy them 3SDM's

[SNH]

Fifteen52 tarmacs or compomotive mo6 would be my choices if I was buying new
