Hi, be sure, that that modification is not made for driving, its for looking like to be fast and rough äh, I mean "rau"....

But, I have to say, I do like them.

RWB is a fiberglass bodykit. How the rest of the car is setup is up to you and your budget.

Just as Vegas said above....

RWB is a fiberglass kit, this will not change the way the car drives. The side canards are functional for the track. The whole driving experience lies with the suspension setup.

Ekoges on here has one. I've ridden in it, with a PROPER chasssis setup the answer is they can handle and drive very well. His is setup well.

Theres a wealth of information on suspension setups on the forums. Do some searching and reading and I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what you would want to suit your needs.

KW makes some very nice coilovers for 964's.

Default KW

I have one but mine is based of an 84 so not as much help.
For your 964 a good set up would be the KW V3 or clubsport. I believe Eli runs the V3.
Also I would recommend a larger sway bar set up. Check out the offerings from H&R. Besides the suspension the wheels/tires are massive and this combo will give you an exceptional ride for track or street.

I'm pretty sure the RWB Hollywood car has the same suspension set up as the Spyerx car since it was done by the same shop (emotion engineering). Check the link in Spyerx's signature for his build details.

ekoges = RWB Hollywood = same chassis guy as me - our setups are similar, i've got everything, he doesn't quite have "everything" on his. His has clubsports on it.

It would be how heavily over the tyred an rwb car must be to fill those arches that would concern me. I've been in many nice cars that had been ruined by ridiculous width tyres!

Like someone stated above I think the most damaging part would be the 305+ tires and rims. Even with an engine pushing 400HP those are some heavy tires and fat rims with giant spacers as well. Wheel bearings will go out in no time.
