Got my Detroits fitted with some Michelin Pilot SPort PS3 tyres yesterday and I love the way the car looks even more now!  :happy2:












And here's a few with one of my other passions in them too...

A whack with the lowering stick and some tyre dressing would make a world of difference!  :wink:

Lovely combination with the Steel Grey and Huffs!   :congrats:

Thanks guys, I was waiting for the moar lowr replies!   :grin:

Yup beginning to think about some lowering springs at the moment, either Eibach or VWR! ;)

I did actually dress the tyres but I'm not quite sure what happened there, must need moar dresin too!  :P

Cheers! :)

Too early to say really, haven't had chance to push very hard, but so far they seem to corner really wel in the wet, they are letting me plant the power down better too and surprisingly the ride is much better than the tyre/wheel combo I had before which were the standard 17" setup!

I'll definitely update again when I've had chance to give it some rod! ;)

So I got to go out on a more spirited drive earlier today and I've got to say I am very impressed with how hard this thing corners now, it just seems to grip although when it does begin to break away the way it slides is very progressive and ultra adjustable. 

Lots of roundabout fun was had and the ESP light wasn't flashing half as much as it used to, meaning more fun and more grip!  Well worth the £153 per tyre! :)

Looking great mate, I'd love a set of monza 2's in black and silver and just swap them around as I please.

Ref the lowering stick, it may just be the slant of the drive but I'm
sure it's sitting a little higher than they usually do? I've been looking at pics of mine standard and I'm sure it's a little lower :confused:

maybe they've put US suspension on it :laugh:
