Hi,

I've finally been allocated a build slot for my TTS Cab with a delivery date of 1st March.

I want to fit some 21" Brixtons but the road surface quality in London is shocking with speed humps and I'm concerned it's going to ruin the ride.

So I have a couple questions that I'm hoping someone can share there experience with me:

1: Are any of you guys running 21's and lowered in London or any urban city in the uk?, if so, how is it?
2: Would the car sit high with the 21's if I left the suspension stock?

The car is a massive investment for me and I don't want to spoil the ride...

I'm running a 2017 GTS Targa and it's fine but I wouldn't want it 'much' stiffer when in town.

Thanks in adavance for any help

Any chance of getting you to trade that build slot to a dealer in New Jersey?
Can't help with the wheels question. Sorry.

21's plus lowering will lead to a slightly greater firm ride. I would say 10-15% more stiffness. I've lowered my last 2 turbo's and I live in NJ and frequent NYC.

Going to 21" wheels will not be a problem, but if you lower it then you will probably not love the ride quality. It's fine for me, but if you have a concern then you will notice there is quite a difference, even with Techart.

21" wheels and tires, properly fitted, won't change anything - as they should maintain the same overall diameter as the OEM wheels/ tires. They will look more aggressive and will have a firmer ride due to the lower side profiles. I am lowered (27 mm on Techarts) on 20" with wider wheels, and same overall diameters as stock, and I rub / bang the front of the chassis at least once / ride. Not a great feeling.

I don't. There are plenty of pictures of 21" rim cars with no lowering, and I think they look fine. Check out wheelsboutique for pictures. Also, it may be possible that ROW or EU cars have a lower ride height than US cars, too.

What rear size tires/wheels are you running? offset?, camber? I know what I can do up front but looking at new Hoosier R7 in 335 x 20 for rear if I can get away with it clearing intercoolers. Circumferences are smaller but width likely an issue. Not lowered. Thanks
