to sort the truth from application. I really don't feel they are trying to be untruthful or misleading, but it is confusing trying to match their many configurations available to the particular application you are speaking of. I finally got to talk to Rick, he was extremely helpful and patient. Gave me the straight skinny and although I had been told initially the drop was 37 mm Rick later told me the drop of 37 mm was applicable to a standard car fitted with their aero springs (Green springs) and the spring itself is actually only 30 mm shorter in free standing length. I am still some what comnfused that that information would indicate there are several springs available-I really don't know. I did run into sleeping police scraping mid section with 635 mm rolling radius tires, adding the 648 mm radius tires helped a lot with the bottoming problem also slowing to almost a stop also helped a bunch.
Wider tires are generally ok and do fine in the wet, except I do notice a bit more "road steer" with them. Using Dunlop 9000 Sports. Initially used Michlin Pilots but couldn't stand the noise, also felt the Michlins were not round as they could be balanced to 5-8 grams and still "rumbled" at speed. In the USA there is generally a 30 day road test for tires and if not to ones liking they will be removed and replaced. Did this and the Dunlops solved the "rumble" problem. If I had my druthers, I would like a narrower tire but I need the diameter offered by the wider tire.
Yes, this car is black with 5 spoke wheels, orange trafficators and a rear vanity plate mounted on front (Orange). Illegal there but when I moved to USA I brought it with me, it is ok in the Colonies.

Did you see the dimensions fro the measurements of 12 cars?
