Hello All,

Sorry to beat a dead horse here - but I am planning on purchasing wheels &
tires this week and would love to hear if anyone has some advice regarding
this. I have pretty much decided on the Panasports ( they look so good ) but
can't make my mind up on size. I have ruled out the 13" & 16" sizes and need
to make a decision between the 14" & 15".  Are there any advantages by going
with either? ( Am I correct in assuming that there may be a better selection
of tires for the 15" wheels? )

Suspension wise - I DEFINITELY need to replace the shocks & most likely the
springs too.I would also like to install new bushings. I have no intention of
doing any track time but would enjoy some what of a  stiffer/street suspension
for all the twisty-mountain roads where I live.If anyone has any
recommendations on spring rates & or different type of shocks, I would
appreciate that as well. BTW - I have a Jag IRS so leaf-springs are not an
option for me, LOL!

I understand that there are allot of variables in considering suspension
components so if I left anything out just let me know & I'll update.

Thank you,

Rob Smith
