Hi Ben,

Do you know if there is still a possibility to
put 285 tires in the back or wheel spacers?

Thx

285s are stock in 2002 for the 18"s. I have 285s on the rear of my 01 with no spacers.

And a Euro M030, right ?
I ask, because i am not certain if
there is still enough space for the
fenders.

I'm installing coilovers tomorrow or Friday which will be a little lower than even Euro M030 and will let you know. I doubt very seriously that lowering it appx 1" front and rear is going to cause a problem with the 285s given the vast amount of space there stock.

And, don't forget that the 2002 Euro 996 (which have the Euro M030 option) receive 285s stock on the 18" wheel option.

Ben, I thought you were doing the RoW 030, what made you decide on coilovers? Should be a very cool setup. Did you get the H&Rs?
My car goes in for the RoW 030 next week!

Hi DJ. I decided to do the H&R coilovers w/ GT3 adj sways. They should go in tomorrow (if they make it here early enough). The reason I chose this setup is because it is much more versitile and I can grow into even more aggressive settings later if I want to. Also, I figured if the GT2, GT3, and all Ferraris have coilovers, that was probably the best way to go. Not to mention, Steve at Rennsport was pestering me to "do the right thing" :-)

Hi Ben,

Did you get the GT3 sway bars in the US and what settings will you be using?

Thx

No, GT3 sways came from Belgium (MUCH cheaper). Will start out with the settings recommended by the shop. They service two Cup cars so I figure they know what they're doing :-)

Is that front or rear (with your current 030 setup I preume) ?

No wonder, this car has only 3200 miles on it.;-)

"Is that front or rear (with your current 030 setup I preume) ?"

That's the standard US suspsension (ie: NOT 030). The front and rear were within about a 1/4 to 1/2 inch of each other.
