It has...X73 suspension...ride height 128mm. Shadows in the pic don't do justice. Got to buy a new camera...

car looks great! a few questions

I was told a 245 front tire should be matched with the 315 rear in order to keep the AWD in check. This of course relates to the brand of tire and the width of wheel you are stretching them on. So what are the sizes of your wheels and what brand of tires are you running? what part of NJ do you live?

Any problems with increased oversteer due to putting that big-boy rubber on the back while keeping the stock skinnies on the front?

These are HRE 841R - 8.5 x 18 F with MPS2 235/40
12 x 18 R with MPS2 315/30

Same setup as GT2. No rubbing at full lock, no implications for AWD. Since the TT has an inherent understeer the 235F/315R setup, at the margin, makes for sharper cornering. I'm in the Princeton area.

Very nice!!
Questions on the X73. Is it Height adjustable?
Any special shimming or excentrics required to align?
Comments on improvement in handling / tradeoff.



Thanks

I'm going to setup my suspension shortly. Can't decide between JRZ singles or just going with the factory option setup.

Thanks
