Speaking of which, regarding your 19 inch wheels, have you felt how much performance you lost? I was looking at getting 19 inch forgestar CF10s as they don't come in any lower sizes and was advised to stay away from such large wheels on this car.

no i haven't because they used the same tyre size with just a lower profile tyre..if anything it feels smoother on corners now.

i was advised tho 20inch would cause performance loss - anything 3inch or over would cause it apparently as stated on top gear aus comparing stock 19s on a hsv with upgraded 22s made it 0,2 seconds slower..correct me if im wrong but thats how i remember it :/

i kept my old set of wheels anyway for track days if i choose to take them up.

It's more about weight than size. You would get less rear traction though if the same tyre was tested on both.

Could we start a group buy on the 5axis bootlid spoiler? Anyone in?
I personally think the 5axis bootlid spoiler looks-wise flows much better than the TRD bootlid spoiler.
