Any weight you take off your driveline, braking, and suspension components wil make the car respond quicker. Going from 17s to 15s was also a huge difference.
Wow, so you actually went up to 17s and then back down to 15s? I'm fairly new to this board, but I've already noticed your opinion appears to be one of the more respected, so here's my next question:
If I'm not planning on autocrossing and I just want to have better than average performance and handling... where does that leave me? (oh and I want some phat wheels to get all that)
hehe Does that mean I should stay away from 17s? I have been looking at all 17s so far...
