As Nancy Reagan said, Just Say No.Koni Sport (aka Yellow) shocks are good for the price. When adjusting, don't leave them at the end of the range or...- EF1 replied to the thread Trackday tire decision.No, you do not need spacers until you move up to 19 x 11" Apex. That is why I chose this set up. You are limited to 295 30 19. The car would be faster with more tire, but I am not racing, just having fun. (see full post)
