Lighter wheels(these are 26lbs) and tires would be better for accelleration and braking but these do stick very well in the turns. I am seriously thinking of some 17"s for everyday use and keeping these just for shows but will be going to alot of them, would be a pain to swap all the time.
Motor Trend just did a review with a XTR, the WRX waqon and the Protege5, guess which was faster through the slalom and had the shortest braking? The Matrix!
Mine has the same front brakes but drums in the rear, still stops well even with big wheels. It also has the same suspension as the XTR. I am ordering the rear disk parts and will use them and other parts to upgrade the brakes all around.
Since I have the XT as I planned to turbo it I am now looking for at least a core Previa SC supercharger as may go that route instead. Then I would make my XT into a XTSC. Or if I do go turbo, it would be XTT. Coil overs are in the works as well.
