3. Lots of negative camber.

4. Proper wheel backspacing/offset
5. Heavier torsion bar rates + properly valved shocks

Not selling any but I would say, jump on either 951 or 911 8"s. As noted, 951 8's can be run up front or can be run in the rear. 911 8's won't fit up front on a narrow car. I ran 951 7/8s on the Sc till I scored on some 9's.. then moved the 8's up front.

I used 911 8s in the rear, but found a hair line crack in one. I been checking ebay and also called Wheel Enhancement. A quote from Wheel Enhancement was $1000/wheel for both 8s and 9s!

I noticed that also, and called earlier. i've not heard back, so maybe George got them already. No hard feelings either way..
