    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!

    the ziniks are a little too sports car for a VX in my opinion...
