Haven't seen any 313 pics here, so had to weight back in. Went from the original 18's to these beautiful 19's. Actually wasn't happy with the rear wheel hop on the 18's, and going to the 19's did not seem to make any difference good or bad, but it did seem to ride better over rough surfaces a bit. I did, however, seen a noticeable improvement in replacing both the Springs and Sway Bars with H&R pieces as far as keeping the tires in contact with the road. The biggest improvement in ride quality, as well as road holding came after I added 5mm spacers on the front and 10mm spacers on the rear [with the required longer wheel bolts per the German T.U.V. rules]. This removed all noticeable over-steer and made the car much better when driving near the limits. have just removed the Winter tires and replaced the bald Bridgestones with a set of Pirelli P Zero's and am still wearing them in, plus the temps dropped here again, so no reports on the current combination yet.
