CONGRATULATIONS MAN!

I would love to hear updates on this thread once you have got the car dynoed.

I noticed that you have a preference for the SSR GT3 wheels (you also have them on the Porsche on your website). How are these wheels? Are they very strong? Have you had any bend/damage incidents with them?

I am contemplating buying the exact same set of wheels for my 99 GS400 but someone mentioned that the spokes are pretty thin for a heavy car like the GS and now I have second thoughts about purchasing them. Please let me know what you think of them (considering that you could have bought any other more expensive wheel, you must have had a good reason for buying these).

Thanks!
I absolutely love the SSR GT3s. The style, price & strength of these wheels is incredible. I have some very very big potholes in my porsche and they have held up very well. I recommend these wheels to anyone..

i LOVE the tte front with ltuned sides

I'll post some pics of the brakes tonight..Also I appreciated the support once again. I will also sometime within the next 2 weeks post some dyno charts. I must say that the car also drives better than I thought with the 19s, Much better than my benz did with the 20s

I second the vote on the SSR GT3s. I've hit some nice size potholes driving through San Fran and they have held up pretty well. In another thread someone did say that that my suspension would have to get damaged before these GT3s would fail.

As far as how the look on your car, well you be the judge

I guess you could say I had an incedent with one of my GT3's once.......... however, I did get it fixed like new, so now i use it as a spare.

It was my fault when I hit a man hole cover at 55mph head on. LOL It was one big thud. Two days later I found out the wheel had a huge dent eventhough it drove smooth without any air leaks. I ended up buying a new wheel. Live and learn.

NO dyno yet, but took it to the tack and pulled a 13.4 in the quarter mile. I am shooting for low 13's, hopefully that will happen very soon..
