Welcome to the world of high(er) performance tyres. When I had my tib, I was running 205/45/16 perrelli P zero Neros. I could take corners at twice the recommended limit, on stock suspension, with no drama.

Love the new look!!

Can you please measure the gap above the front and rear wheels?

How is the driving bumpiness.... rough ride?


Thanks!

^^From the top of the tires to the fender?! Yea the ride is a little rougher, but i imagine after the springs settle itll loosen up.. the the handling is amazing

Perhaps KYB struts will tip the balance more in favor of a smooth ride as opposed to sharper handling. Not to mention, they're $200 cheaper.

Unless someone can say otherwise, that's the combo I'm going for.

Oh, I can disprove that right now. EIBACH DAMPNERS>>>>>>>>>>>KYB

I've got a tib with KYB, and a tib with Eibach, it's not a comparison at all.
