I am looking to put 19" techart formula wheels on my 2003 C2, will this have a major impact on the ride. Also, want to put the -10 porsche kit on the car, does it help, will it work combinged with the 19's?

Hi, Yes it will. I have the Champion 3pc. forged 19's running 235/295's with the Champion suspension tuning package and well you most definately should put much better springs on. But I should explain if you are new to low profile tires, you may not like the road noise to come. With the 295's on the rear you pick up alot of noise, especially on bad roads, ie not newly refinished! And you do not want to know about highway road transitions. Then there is the Q as to whether you rub, both my front and rear fenders were rolled on the arch to avoid this, but occasionally I notice the front tire grabbing a bit on the liner when backing up and turning. I don't know about the Porsche springs as everything on my car was done by Champion Motorsports. But as they say that it is to each his own if you are just wanting it to look tough and grip tougher then it is definately recommended by me. I'll post if there is any significant reduction in road noise with my adventures with Dynamat Extreme. Good Luck, and I hope this doesn't scare you too bad, but if you take long drives it can get real annoying as the ambient noise level is hard to talk or hear over.

I have iForged Swift 3pc 19" wheels and pairing them with Michelin PS2's 235F 315R, I noticed no major ride quality issues, road noise will be increased though. I also have the RoW M030 kit on the car, and my only complaint is that I now have to really watch steep driveways, gutters, and curbs; it is worth it though!

Have fun! :jump:
