What tires (sizes) do you use on your 19" HRE ? Thinking of 19" but will it add more weight?

Thank you

HRE 540s
19 x 8.5 (245/35/19) et 43
19 x 12 (295/30/19) et 43

Hey Colin what sway bar settings are you running now? My 4S is also rwd. I'm thinking of adding a GT2 rear bar before next track day.

Ugh.

• I started with the Eibach Sway Bars. Broke the rear sway bar arm, no idea how.
• Ordered the C4S H&R full set. Love em.
• Went complete RWD. Front H&R C4S bar was WAY too heavy/stiff.
• Put in Tarett's GT3 Front Sway bar.
• I'm not sure what the differences are for our rear bars but for the fronts its extreme. Ex: The front C4S H&R bar weighed 11lbs. The Tarett weighed 7lbs.
• So after all that I have 3 sway bars to sell in my garage.

Today:
Front - Tarett GT3 Sway Bar - One from Full Soft
Rear - H&R C4S Sway Bar - Neutral

Thanks. The GT3 bars are hollow while the H&R and original 4S are solid. My tech recommends going softer up front and stiffer rear with the GT2 bar, assuming hollow as well. Ill report back after I swap and get some seat time.

vandersmith,

How are you liking the top gear x pipe and headers? would you buy them again?

vandersmith

I'd 100% recommend TopGear.

The fit and finish of both parts is exceptional all for a reasonable price.

Crazy to think you can order something for less from the UK that looks/works better than most parts being made in the US - with shipping included.

Car is now for sale with everything - a new-to-me GT3 will be here in Seattle soon.

Would like to offer it to Rennlist first before it ends up on BaT.
