I’m in need of help! I have had a stock 2016 Gem for couple years and it rides like crap.  
Where does everyone buy their parts? I want to replace suspension and get a speed kit. Is Ride-4-fun the best kit to buy?  
Also, I want new larger wheels and tires. Can’t seem to find sites that sell for the 114.3mm bolt pattern. Any help to start pimpin my ride would be appreciated!

Start reading - there is a ton in information on this site about all those topics - use the search (magnifying glass at the top).  
If you can’t find something specific come back and were happy to help.

Yes I have started doing this and yes there is a ton of info but I seem to have to paste things together. Hard to get all the info in 1 place. Like where can I buy wheels with a 114.3 mm bolt pattern? All the sites I goto offer 4" bolt patterns. Can you provide links to parts website?  
Sorry, I know I have to educate myself on all this!

Wheel sites change all the time, I have had the best luck on Ebay for sure. They have every bolt pattern you can think up. 🙂
