If you are wanting to improve handling then you HAVE to upgrade to larger wheels and wider tyres!

No point improving everything else and not the parts that connect the car to the road!
that is right.
I would not make the car any more stiffer until he has change to wider wheels with better grip or the car will slide like hell.
that is what I had before the wheels which was a nightmare to drive fast.

i have a question

for those 523 525 323 325 which changed their rims to 18"/19"

i think they will experience a slow start up due to lack of torque isn't it?
