Raked stance?

on coil overs you could set it up right. lowering the front some and playing with the stiffness would help. on the neon i use to set the fronts softer than the rears and play with it till i got it right.

i guess i should of worded my self better and said it will make it worse unless you make the set up specifically to improve traction. but i dont think thats what the op was getting at. what i took from it was to do it for looks, which is why i said it hurt performance. either way imo the only rwd trend that would look good on this car is a staggered wheel. but then you risk ridicule.

No worries, I should read a little slower too as to fully comprehend what you were trying to say. Staggered wheels as in size of wheels from front to back or staggered in width? :jester: Personally I wouldn't do either on either on a FWD myself, I just don't think it would look any good. And the only way I could see it helping handling wise was if the rears were smaller width wise than the front as to allow some rotation in the rear. And that would look really strange, don't you think?!

yeah i meant width, but either way it has no benefit on a fwd. its a trend in vw's and some other euros and imo it does look good, but its kinda pointless. and larger fronts than rears would look retarted.

when mine is converted to rwd and has 12-15 inch wides in the back and factory size up front, it's gonna RULE!!!!:banger:

I am considering having the factory wheels widened.

Make sure you buy a really wild wide body kit that looks like a Testarossa too, that would be super duper slick... :banger:
