Posts: 1,074 Thanks: 18 Trader Rating: 0 | Re: SHOW OF YOUR BARCHETTA Photos wanted Anything over 30mill will require a complete suspension change, 30mill and you can use springs only, any more then the whole lot gets more expensive. Springs will give you 5 to 15% stiffness. 17"'s should make no difference as the wheel is the same, just less tyre. I would not do more than 30mill myself.

Posts: 65 Thanks: 0 Trader Rating: 0 | Re: SHOW OF YOUR BARCHETTA Photos wanted the whole suspension change must be done if you lower your car for -5cm or more... As I read in car tunning forums and stuff and also talking to workers and sellers... 205/40/17 or 215/40/16 the difference betwen those dimensions is 2cm in size... so in this case the 17" would car look lower... P.S. I still didnt get the badge

You buy bigger alloys not tyres, if your total wheel size has increased then your speedo will be out. You compersate tyre for wheel, the small the alloy the more tyre and visa versa.

Posts: 1,074 Thanks: 18 Trader Rating: 0 | Re: SHOW OF YOUR BARCHETTA Photos wanted Do a search on the net, But there around £120 max for the 4 springs. and some one should charge you no more than £130 to fix them. To be safe get the AA to check them after for insurance reasons, or just leave it and hope no one noticies.
