Got my Volkracing GT-V's

sup all,

Just got my GT-V from UPS today and had them installed at NTB right away. Haven't clean the tires yet. But here you go:

Tires BFGoodrich KDW-2 245/35/19 - 275/35/19
Wheels 19 VR GT-V (+23) 8.5 f and (+24) 9.5 r.
Coilovers Tein CS

Personally, its ok, I had the GT-C's before on my RX-7 and it look PHAT this one is hmm ok...

Thx

These tires are awesome.. I had Bridgestone S-02 and S-03 both tires was awesome S-02 threads don't last long and S-03 did; that was the change.

The Bfgoodrich is grippier than the S-03 but picks up more tiny rocks and you can hear them bounce inside the fenders. Also road noise is tad more than the S-03 but I'd rather have performance than those 2 minor things.

Tein CS is just like stock ride in quality. Quiet and plush on bumps. But on the cornering; it's a different story.

The TEIN CS has 1.25" drop in the front and 1" in the back from the factory.

And no, im not using a camber kit.

I got a pair of those rims as well waiting for the tires. I ordered 19 x 10.5 rear and 19 x 9.5 fronts. I ordered them in gold. I got the toyo proxys.

Thx Memphis, Wheels are about 22 lbs. and tires I'm not sure. One thing for sure they are lighter than the stock wheels.

Hey, nice ride.
What are you comparing the ride quality with? OEM Stock or OEM Performance package? Also, what do you mean "it's a different story"... do you mean better or worse?
