As I said I think Bob is running either 305 or 315 on his GS, but I know he did some shaving of the fenders, wheel hub, etc etc.

Anyways, the car looks mint and as you said, you should have gone 20's YEARS ago! lol
That's a great look on the 2GS, Ed... nicely done! Welcome to the 305 club!

FWIW (per Derrick) mine are 20x11.5" with a 305/25-20 Yokohama Advan Sport (which run extremely wide). Michelin and Pirelli both offer 325/25-20, but I like the shorter sidewall of the 305/25, and, to be honest, the 305s provide plenty of grip.

Lookin' sweet!

thanks bob yeah those 305 grip like no other , its funny the 20's have not affected the handling or acceleration one bit , maybe its the lightweight of the wheel and tire

i like the winn spoiler for it matches perfectly with the ugo roof spoiler , i am thinking about it as far as jp tails although pretty i just cant justify 1000+ price tag when i need some sports design headlights badly


i hope we all can pull together a nice big central and south florida meet down in the keys for a weekend , trust me D it would please all

That would be nice if we could all do it, but timing is critical for most? Ed, check with member Lenthrax? He was selling some tails earlier this year and was taking offers? Don't know if he sold them? Go with the JP spoiler, it will set your car off!

Yes she does, because I showed it to her and she thought it was the prettiest siggy she ever saw! Honestly, she didn't like it and wanted me to keep my old one! I wonder why? I love it!

thanks tony

i am 150% happy , the look is what i want , there is no diff in ride quality no diff in handling in fact the car feels more stable and i am able to adjust my edfc to a stiffer setting and enjoy the ride

so overall its a great upgrade
