Hey everyone,

I was wondering what would be the suggest course on upgrades for a 3S-GTE swap? my search-fu failed me and I didn't find any threads about this.

my car is a 97 ST so its pretty much bare bones stock atm.

I plan on putting rear disks on soon, but after that I'm not sure what the next step should be?

should I look into getting better suspension? a new set of rims and tires?
what are general upgrades that should be considered when dealing with the 3S-GTE power upgrade?

Thanks for your time!

Kevin

Im pretty sure the only way to run 10mm spacers is with extended studs which is alot of work to install. I personally hate rota and think anyone who runs them on a track is putting their life and anyone around lives at risk. They look cool, light, and cheap which means in order to provide all three of those the casting process and material is less than statisfactory. Look into rpf1's I heard they came out with some new sizes. Also ebay is your best friend I have seen a set of work meiser 16x8 +35 and a set of advan rc-II 17x8 +35 sell recently for under $1000. If your going to track/autox your car get a forged wheel, if you just cruise and do the car show circuit rota will probally serve you fine.
