upgrade and maintenance question:

I'm about to buy 18"M5 wheels, there so nice....what tyre size do you recommend. Id like to get slightly bigger one in the rear!!!! Can I do that with same size wheels???

Also, I'm thinking about changing the shocks and springs. I already purchased the M5 springs. What shocks do you recommend? I dont want to spend to much....... I saw around 400 bucks for the bilsteins....are they worth it....... Also will it match my 18" configuration....... I would like to do the work myself. Any idea on how hard it is to change those.... I'm a civil engineer, and I had some course on mechanical engineering back in school.......but forgot most of it...... lol

I also need a small body work job to be done on the front fender. I found a fender after market for $60! Will it make strange noise at 140mph?????? Or if I leaned on it, will it pop in????? or fairly similar to the original fender.....


Let me know guy and keep burning some rubber!!!!!!!

6 speeds rules!!!!!
