Edit: think about the weight distribution too.. more weight up front (H22) leads to understeer... the B series aren't too much heavier than the D you have now.

Paul: im not any kind of expert on the h22's but you cant tell me that you cant boost a h22 into the 12's. if you do then i will have to come to your local town and slap you. dont be ignorant, use logic combined with your knowlege.
