Was just thinking about a while back when it was mentioned that the suspension on the 2006s were 'tweaked' when you ordered 18 inch wheels - was this ever validated? Anyone know exactly what this entails and how it is different form our 05s?

I saw this mentioned once in some publication but I can not remember where. I would also like to know if this is verified.

No problems with my car though. Suspension feels great when I'm on the pedal and taking corners. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumb.gif[/img]

Yes, the cars with factory 18's have slitghtly different spring rates and dampening rates IIRC. THis is because the sidewall on the 18's is stiffer, so to make up for this the spring is a little bit softer. Nothing to get excited about.
