Rear Diffusers - Whats out there?
sadly as said very little getting twinz within the uk has been a bit of a rocky road funny company. there is a huge gap in the market at present for both rear difusers and front spiltters for the 89 spec. some one needs to pull their finger out and make some cash :)

Z1 Motorsport - Anyone ordering ?
this is a good point also, and yeah it really is that easy. pop one off find a local supplier and take it in say you want one that will do what you want maybe even take the car quite quickly you will have what you want. :) we did some hydraulically operated stainless steel swimming pool covers. we simply spoke to the company they requested the dimensions weight etc and provided the struts.

just get the spec off them bud phone round your local hydroclics palce pick them up for half the price here in the uk without postage. its only a case of finding one the same size but with a higher rebound rate.

what should i go for and why?
pzeros are pretty good on grip, i have them on the rear. Porsche choose to fit them to their cars. However they do last a mere 10 odd thousand miles and the grip drops off radically when they get below 4mm according to reviews. So they work out VERY expensive. the fk 452s made by falken are often used and are a good "budget" tyre. they are very similar in design and i believe are actually produced in the same factory as dunlops. toyo proxis are again a very well used and appraised "budget" tyre. cant comment on the maxxis but i know marks said before hes a big fan. others on here praise contis and Michelin pilot sports. upto you see what prices you can afford and get the best you can afford and bear in mind what you expect from them. if you go fitting some cheapo budget ditch finders you will soon find yourself finding that ditch :) as for colour, if your gloss paint is spotless. then satin wheels can look the dogs on a gloss black car. gloss black wheels tend to work imo better on grey or red cars.

Will suspension struts from a TT fit onto a SWB? plz
i think the only difference is the stiffness or rebound rate something along those lines due to the weight distrubution. i seem to remeber miester doing lwb and lwb for this reason. but psychcally they would fit depends what you want out the car doesnt it.
