performance in all categories has decreased.
What have you guys done to remedy this problem? I can definitely tell I need lowered now more than ever because of the hightened center of gravity. My tires currently are 215/50/17....hopefully some 215/45s will give me a bit more of my power back. blah. |

Be prepared to continue being disappointed because the weight is still going to be substantial; I'm running 215//45/17 on tC wheels and the combined weight is about 40 pounds at each corner compared to the stock 15's on 205/55/15 weighing about 36lbs.
At this point, knowing what I do now if I had a chance to do it again I'd either choose 16" GT-S rims or pay for very light 17s. Good luck. This post has been edited by Keiri: Jul 25, 2011 - 6:42 PM -------------------- Has no more Celicas
