Soldato

I fitted a set of old era-correct forged three-piece BBS RS 178 wheels, designed specifically for the car, which had taken me about two years to find and import. They need a good clean and polish but they look the part.
I also fitted a set of new Continental ExtremeContact Sport tyres, which had to be imported from the US as well. You can't get decent tyres in the right size over here, so importing is your only choice.
What blew me away is the fact that the wheel and tyre combo is 4.5kg lighter than the original. Not across the car – at each corner! I had hoped for an improvement but didn't imagine it would be that much.
It drives in a noticeably improved fashion, unsurprisingly. Definitely heading in the right direction...
And lower the front. And then lower the rear again.
Mmmm!Funnily enough, front coilovers are on the potential upgrade list for that very reason. The rear suspension is very easy to adjust and has a wide range of adjustment, but the front doesn't (in stock form).
