Made the mind up.

I am not a drag racer, no stop lights for me. I however love canyon dicing so brings me to the point where I need to write a bunch of checks.

Suspension is around B&Gs or H&Rs springs for the drop, Tociko replacement struts and a whiteline rear. To tie the pack together.
Wheels, i am still indecided and need some advice. Looks say go 18" w 225/40 but my gut feeling is saying go 17" 215/50. Remember I want to drive hard round corners, not bling. I will be driving in the 80-100 speed limit, but I also cruise slowwwww.
I also need decent slotted/drilled disks

Wheels and tires
I am liking the look of 18" 235/40 but hear 17"225/50 is ideal setup? I am going for function over form here. What are the calls from the canyon chargers? Brand of tire too, I need one for most dry with some wet. Maybe someone can recommend a seller?

Samething on the drive train;
While blown is cool, it doesnt work in hard charging for me.Lots of stated stuff i have read but I am looking for a nice replacement pipe. Not looking for loud but forpower,what to see something decent, even identical to stock. 2.15"big enough? Engine massage delayed to nextyear. I drive to redline but am not slamming gears.

So remember, I charge into corners, also drive in the wet but never going into snow.

Recommendations??????Please?????

Springs, H&R or B&G?? Preference

Cannot decide to go17" with higher sidewalls or 18"with lowersizewalls. 40 series in real life could suck.

How big a pipe to use for exhaust and want it to look like stock to hang off it..Dont mind some sound but want a performance increase for better midrange up to redline.
