Abbott Racing lowering springs
Abbott Viggen Rescue Pack (Lower stress bar, steering rack brace and bracket)
SAS rear anti-sway bar.

Tires I've had since '97 on the OEM 16" SuperAero wheels:
Micheline MXX3 Pilots 205-50/ZR16 (Best, but expensive @ $205 per, may have come down since then)
Nitto Extreme 450's, same size, pieces of crap. Cupped badly, and noisy due to the cupping. Also couldn't grip flypaper covered in superglue
Yokohama A-520's, also noisy, price was right, and it stuck the car to the road. Live was short though. Under a year.

Just had put on Micheline touring tires. Not my choice -- had a misshap with a deer and the insurance would only pay for these tires. No impression yet. Car is still in the shop.

If I *had* a choice, I'd go with Pilots or Pirelli P7000 SuperSports, or if I could afford them, Pirelli PZero's.

Regardless of tires though, the car rides firm, but not harsh, and handles like the proverbial go-kart. I love it, and would highly recommend the VRP if you intend to do any engine/performance mods in the future. It virtually eliminates the torque steer problem IMHO.

HTH, and good luck!

Jim M.
