    Thumbs up

    The GA5s look tough, don’t forget the HD tie rods.
    Cars designed by spreadsheets make sense. Cars designed by engineers make history.

    CORRECT on both counts! And don't forget to figure out a way to tie up the coils to the body so they don't fall out when wheeling. Consider ordering a set of CV boots now while you're at it and locate some heavy duty zip ties to use in case the bands slip off after lifting - which seemed to be a common problem this year. Also consider upgrading the brakes as soon as you can - the braided lines mixed with R1 rotors and OEM pads seem to be the hot ticket. I am not sure of the weight of the Zinik wheels but the Granites are pretty light weight (I eyed them myself for awhile). I have BBS Moda R7's but they are discontinued - the specs match the Granites though. The width and 0 offset require more trimming with 33's so be prepared to hack. And oh yeah, have fun!
