[QUOTE="Catmonkey, post: 15467371, member: 124025"] I'm not familiar with Brenspeed, but I have a lot of experience with VMP and I highly recommend them. I'm not sure the Gen II or 2R is CARB certified. I'd contact VMP, or more specifically BJ McCarty at VMP, and quiz him what would be emissions compliant in Kalifornia. You shouldn't have any issues with the axles unless you're running drag slicks, but Moser and Strange both make replacements. Griggs is sort of hard core. Unless you're doing a lot of road courses and little street driving, it's probably fine, but there are ways to make your ride handle better in the twisties and still deliver decent ride quality for the street. On tires, do some research. Almost all manufacturers limit a 285 as the widest tire for a 9.5" rim. Sure a larger tire will mount, and lots of guys that are not engineers will tell you it's fine to do that. If you want your car to handle, don't do it. Look at wider rims or widen the stock wheels and find something with a UTQG rating under 200. [/QUOTE]
