Sagaris full wheel suspenison upgrade?

[zeppo]

Hi!
I think I can raise funds to go for a "full wheel supension" upgrade for my Sagaris this winter. I'm planning to buy a set of 19" Jade'Rs, tyres and maybe a new dampers, therefore I have a few questions.

- when fitting new rims, I have to realign the supension anyway, so would it be worth to buy new dampers before? I'm running the original dampers at the moment, they are still working, but look a bit fked up after 8 years. So 2 options, new Nitrons or refurb the old ones?

- which tyre size do you recommend? TVR Power seems to recommend smaller front (235) and wider (265) back tyres for the 19"

- tyre manufacturer? At the moment I'm facing "Michelin Super Sport"

What's your suggestions?

I'm a normal driver and usually I drive on contryroads - no tracks yet.

cheers Josef

Hi all!
Ok, so no need to upgrade the standard suspension for now with 19inch alloys - that's good to hear, new Nitrons would add another 3.000.- €...

@Mike
And the tyres are 235/35 and 265/30 as they recommend?

@Tony
Because I think that 18" look too small for these cars and on faster curves, they feel a bit "spongy" - even with 2 bars.

@John
Any problems with space in the front wheel house with 19" and 255?

@Christian
Which type of Yoko's?

@Alex
Eagle F1? I had them on my old Audi TT and as far as I can remember, they were very slippery.

Hi Paul!
But do you think, that 19" will be too crashy for "racing noobs" like me? As far as I know, we both aren't playing in the same driving leage...;-)

I know, that a higher sidewall is generally better for driving, but I don't like the spongy feeling in curves, thats why I'm looking for 19".
