[s-cars] Suspension/steering stiffness question

[Ivan Demkovitch]

That is not a problem. Our winter is just a joke here in St. Louis.
 
In my BMW I also have winter wheels which are lighter and smaller.
It feels much more softer. If that will be similar - no problem whatsoever.

I pretty well agree with Taka, however you MAY be able to get the shocks revalved for the
heavier wheels (it means tighter damping rates). It depends upon how much Bilstein will be
willing to listen to, you'd need an accurate car weight (mass, really), wheel weights, as accurate
an estimate of unsprung weight components, and corner weights. Dampers CAN be valved to match
heavier wheels, but if there is a great difference between your winter wheels and summer wheels,
one season is really going to suffer.
