I've been upgrading various suspension parts on my car and I know my non-stock wheels/tire combination is considerably heavier than stock, and adding unsprung weight. Is the added weight likely to cause any problems for a primarily street driven machine? If so, what can be done to do to relieve or compensate for the stresses created?
I've never seen this discussed in this forum, it may not be an issue (other than my OCD (IMG:style_emoticons/default/Jumpy.gif) ), but having done so much, don't want to ignore anything potentially important, and figured with all the racing members, someone would have an educated response. |
