Car is lowered with Rsr coilovers. These are 19" wheels, but 9.5 front and 10.5 rear. I am using stock tires until they wear out. I'll probably go 265/30 and 295/30 later

Thanks for your quick response...appreciated. Do you by any chance have the setup specs of your coilovers ...? I have RSR Coilovers but the guys in are struggling to set them up for a balanced ride. I am thinking of going back to 19" from 20's

Right now I'm on 22 rear and 32 front. I adjusted a few times to get to this point. This is slightly stiffer than stock. Fronts are easy to change, rears take a bit to get to. I might wind up changing again to get the ride I want.

Your F is looking great. Why change to 19s now? I was more interested in going wider than gaining the 20" look, plus more tire options

I suppose my frustrations are numerous. Rubbing on the font arches is an issue which frustrates me and with the UK roads (especially London) being in a poor state anything but sedate driving can be an issue, especially with 2 passengers. We have adjusted the ride height many times.

I love the look, but am struggling to get the car to feel balanced and almost to settle down on a long journey. Always fidgety and the rear is stiff and the front can feel floaty, almost at odds with the rear.

The guys here have been helpful and work on high end cars, Ferrari, Mclaren, Lambo etc... but this is the first RC-F to be done like this in the UK ( I believe) and is a steep learning curve, we have been in touch with Vossen and RSR in the US for guidance.

So the thought pattern was to put the OEM shocks on..19" rims and RSR Lowering springs and have a crack at that.
