On my other thread I recognise the probs with 13's as being:
Low profile, less suspension due to lack of sidewall
Increased unsprung mass
Larger footprint heavier steering

But what if I did a coil-over conversion to get over the suspension issue?

The unsprung mass is unavoidable, Unless I buy some who-flung-fancy-dancy rims from the uk for massive $$$$

But would the track increase and therefore lower centre of gravity not assist with mid-corner traction?

The heavy steering I don?t really see as being that bad. I don?t know any different and I can cope
