'91 200 20V Suspension Upgrades and Wheels/Tires

[Taka Mizutani]

Mike-
I'm running H&R 29800 springs with Bilstein sport shocks, the shocks need
revalving to get the ride quality better (more damping needed), with
17x8 wheels and 255/40R17 rubber in the summer. Car feels pretty
planted- it definitely does not wallow, although it still rolls like a
pig.

I'm running about the largest width rubber you can on the car.

Taka
