The suspension was great and I would keep it but kws customer service put me over the edge. Some I'm getting it rebuilt and someone will get a month suspension for a good price.

Went with AST

Just curious if you find 265 tires to be a drawback at all with that power level. I think it looks badass and I am after a similar setup 9.5 ET40 with a 265/35, but just wondering if you have ever regretted such a wide tire?

yes and no.

the car does feel a bit sluggish in 1st and 2nd compared to when i have my 235/45 DWS on the 17x7 wheels....but its really not THAT bad.

the car feels much more stable at higher speeds and thats what i wanted. i dont regret going with this setup at all, the only thing i'll do it eventually go to a different tire, most likely a pss or the rivals.
