Hey guys, I think we should post all the mods we do in this thread

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.

also the car will retain future resale value the guy at the tyre store told me. not that were selling anytime soon tho

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.
