I am looking at the KW with front nose lift for my 997 turbo... after putting forgiato monoblock 20" I feel like I lost alot of grip and stiffness...

What do you guys recommend I get?!

I tried searching but I really couldnt find much...

 

PM sent!

 

Why not just put 19" back on?

 

lol I got renntech e55 btw drive that **** hard ! 600hp+

yeah I thought about it but... I got some black & blue monolegera monoblock forgiato's with some ps2's 325's in the back so wider tire patch, I also painted calipers blue, blue steering wheel etc...

Would be really stupid going back now especially after all the $$$ I put on these wheels and tires as well as painting everything to match the wheels.

I see you got suspension on ur turbo... did you put 20's and have the same problem?!?!

 

Search for CANNGA's post on this - he's been down this long road a good bit and has some excellent advice as well.

 

I no longer have the turbo but would never have put 20" on it.

 

Why wouldnt you put 20's on it if you get a wider tire patch?!

 

It's not the wider patch that gets you handling, it's an entire suspension system (including the dynamics of the tire - it is part of the suspension system). The 996/997 series cars are not designed for 20' wheels and no matter what you do, you will not be able to get the set-up as good as a 19 or 18' wheels.

On my car I am running 325 on 19' wheels in the rear and 245 on 19's in the front. I could have gone with 265 fronts but that's a whole other story. This set-up is hooked up incredibly well. If you want to push the handling to the limit of what it can do look up tuners who specialize in road racing set-ups. If you want suggestions on tuners send me a PM.

 

Please do send me that info... I remember repeatedly asking the guys at the shop if 20's was going to be ok I wanted to go 19's they was like nahhhhh ull be fine its gonna be wild bla bla bla... now the car drives like a fkin S-class.
