    Is there anyone out there running 17x8? If so, what offset are you running? I am thinking about buying 5zigen Fn01r-c 17x8 with a 43mm offset and i was just wondering how much work, if any, it was to make your 17x8's work. Thanks.

    What are the highest spring rates anyone has seen?

    I am ready to buy a new suspension setup for my 08 MS3 and i am highly disapointed in to lack of 300+ spring rates for shock/spring or coilover setup. The only one that i have found is the KW Varient 2's. Anyway, does anyone run high spring rates or know of any setups with 300+ rates? Thanks.

I think so... Especially...
