remove crappy s2 kit, and replace it all, cut down front and rear end of arch extensions level with bumpers.

S2 skirts look better than S1 though.

So ideally u want them with the S1 arches.

Ad4m RST,

What do you think of the ride and handling with the FR's on?

Ive got a set with 205/40's for my Mk3 track car...

Tried them on the S2 the other night and it torque steered like a biatch

(Compared to correct offset wheels with 205/45/16)

If it weren't for the occasional rubbing and fookin heavy steering at low speeds i'd absolutely love these wheels

Grips much better in a straight line than any 17's i've had on a s2, torque steers a little but you expect that with a zvh, plus the fact it's only running 10psi atm. I've driven an S1 with escos rims and found them to be a lot worse though

One thing i will say try and get the chassis as stiff as you can though, mine has a strut brace, polybushes etc...

Oh ive got plans for the chassis and it will be as stiff as they get

Not too fussed about steering at low speeds either as it will be mainly a track car...

Should work quite well hopefully, they look the nuts
