No changes required to convert rim size. The larger rim will generally up the spring rate, as tires will be lower profile with stiffer sidewalls.


5. What is the weak spot of the car?

They're not the best handling from the factory, more of a highway cruise setup. I've changed a lot on my car to better the handling for Autocross and track.


7. Can shoulder belts be easily retrofit into the car.

Yes, mine are 5 points installed at Olthoffs shop.
What have you done to the suspension?
