They do look good but that aint everything!

The ride is harsher because of the lower profile tyres, I find the steering is heavier, car doesn't seem to sit so well on them, car will never handle as well on 18's as it will on 17's, they catch the front arches and fuck the tyres!

I've rolled my front arches too!

Not a good look for you Pete!

It's all very well having all this stuff & sounds good in the pub talk...the car needs to prove itself now. It's got the best of everything.

Have you driven it hard on the 18's then?

Mine touch and mine isn't on the ahmed/koni set up yet! Perhaps the extra spring stiffness stops the arches rubbing then?

Pete, Evo's are a different fucking ball game man!! You know that!
