Ive got 17x7 OZ Superleggeras (ET37 offset)
The ride is better now its lowered 100mm front and 110mm rear than it was when it was lowerd 60mm on std shocks!!!! (My Fk coilovers were custom made)...

Right then, i dont know much about the old R5 "boneshaker" turbos, but i do however know a bloke by the name of Sparkie (well known bloke on the RTOC, think hes the midlands area rep??) Anyway, his R5 has been RRd @ 231bhp at Power Engineering (this was with a T3/T28 roller bearing i think)...
