Higher power engines are more affected I think (due to extra strain on them) You will get used to it :wink: Maybe some...

I love the wheels and stance.

Very nice car. I am sorry if you have said already but what wheels are they. They look like a certain type of porsche wheel that I can remember the name of (design 90's) but they are 4 stud. So a direct fit would be avalible.

Thanks

Chris
