      So you have the same setup? Sans Rota vs. Drag...
      What else have you done to set it up? Braces, brakes, etc...???

      Check the resale value, I went with the Rotas since they don't really lose any value if you want to resell them. Also, by going with a 205/50/15 tire the car looks sic and you are less likely to curb your wheels since there's so much rubber sticking out... also the car has some kickass grip as well... so much that you will be getting a fair amount of body roll, even with lowering springs.

      Tires I have are Kumho Ecsta SPT's. I have two track days on them and 30,000 miles. That's VERY impressive especially considering how much more life they have left.

      Here is what I have done handling wise.

      http://www.uniquemotorsports.com/Aveo/m ... ndling.htm

      I would highly recommend new struts and shocks... unfortunately the front struts are not available yet. I'm done modifying the car, I'm just keeping it well maintained and will be trading it in when something good comes along.

      My dealership had 6 SVM's in stock. 1 yellow, 1 White, 1 Maroon, 1 Red, 1 Black and Mine.

      That Grey popped out to me. I always wanted a Silver/Titanium colored car.

      To avoid grinding anything...

      Would spacers cure the problem?

      Or should I look at 16's?
