6 x 15's for the wheels, light as poss.

Suspension, I like Gaz stuff. Coilover

However unsure if it's the 'best' it's hard to say what is the best! All about the 'best' setup. P.S.: You should get braided brake hoses... check my for sale on here

ATE 256mm brakes are as you say ok. any vx 15's will do.

astra v6 230bhp · 03-07-2009, 18:20
