This looks like a great thing to do as I wouldn't object to reducing the body roll in turns but I worry doing these type of mods on my daily would just ruin my back over time.

[@koifish1le996]

you won’t get reduced body roll as much with coilovers as if you got aftermarket sway bars and front/rear strut bars. those will do much more than coilovers for the price of each. you can get a full set of sway + strut bars for the same price you’d pay for coilovers that would give you the same relative performance boost, but coilovers mess with the ride feel like bumps and springiness, sway bars don’t do that, and strut bars make bumps less noticeable. if you can find sway/strut bars for your car, i 100% recommend doing that first

I have the tires: 2 front 245/40ZT18 (93W) and 2 rear 265/35ZT19 (94W). Could you recommend which wheels (measurements) to put with these tires that do not make the tires stand out from the fenders and that they can be seen both in the back and in the front, straight. Thanks. Obviously and taking advantage of the video, some shock absorbers for daily use and some track and speed occasionally. Thanks. Can you give me a link from you, specifically with the rims that you recommend and the shock absorbers.
