| I would first like to establish, that I do NOT intend to track my car. I might go once or twice, but nothing that can be deemed "regularly". I dont want to cut any corners for anything. Ive kept true to that thus far and would like to keep it going that way. I put in all high-quality parts, had the motor shipped to SpecialtyZ and followed all of their advice to a T. That being said, the motor is now done, but the car isnt. I dont know what to do for wheels, suspension or brakes. Ive done some research and simply cant decide what I want. Im having a hard time justifying $4k for a brake setup because I dont know what its going to realistically buy me for spirited street use. As for suspension, I really like the idea of EDFC, but dont know which coilovers to go with. I know only some are compatible with EDFC. To give you an idea of what the ride comfort would be like with different coilovers, Im running ES bushings, BDE motor mounts and solid subframe spacers as of right now. As for wheels, Im pretty lost. Im pretty sold on the idea of forged wheels for obvious reasons, and I want 5 spokes with a "dish" look. If the 5 spokes arent already gloss black, Ill have them powder coated. I like the idea of 18" wheels because that will keep the car from being gear limited below 200mph (personal goal of mine), but I am concerned about clearance for brakes, compatibility with suspension components and tire rubbing. I dont feel the need to go with super wide tires because that doesnt improve linear traction. Im interested in linear AND lateral traction. If there is something I didnt cover and you guys need more information, please let me know. Or if Im misguided/off in some areas, Id be pleased to be informed. Thanks in advance for your help!
