The V36 G has a nice front sway bar, shitty rear... so it's an easy upgrade.

Much tougher to find information about the V35, and it seems that they're a better factory set, making a tougher upgrade.

I predict moar Amiga stuff in Indy's future.

That would be nice, but I've got a board, CPU, and RAM to sell and maybe a few other things. Otherwise I'm going to need to start tossing. The next time they have a free electronics recycling event at work, I need to plan ahead. I brought 2 or 3 carloads to the last one. :D

There is some sort of difference in acceleration for using larger wheels. The argument is ongoing at a thousand places as to whether that is significant or not; measurable or not; perceptible or placebo, et cetera.

I don't like the looks of aftermarket wheels, so I'm focusing on factory wheels. That means 17x7, or, with some digging, 18x8.

So it might be a little slower, the ride is going to be a little harsher, for both the material/design of the tire, and for the lower sidewall...

Of course, I'm now bouncing around pure summer tires or high performance all seasons.

The summer performance tires, in warm weather, i.e. May through September, will outperform the A/S tires.... but by how much? And at a cost of lifespan and ride comfort and noise.

But, from mid-March to May, and September until the end of November, the summer performance tires are going to be terrible, as the cold temperatures will bother them.

It'd be nice if there were low temperature performance tires... i.e. something that can run down to about 40 and be okay.
