arrutled · 09-12-2010, 09:35 AM

impressions?

M3Newbie88 · 09-12-2010, 09:36 AM

Nice mods.. the drop is looking perfect.. any specs on the tires? your sige states 255/275 tires.. does that not rub.. and is it 18s?

fd94 · 09-12-2010, 10:31 AM

I think The wheels would of looked nicer a bit bigger.Looks like a stock car>or drop it more but none the less.NICE WHIP!

Looks great! How does the Dinan suspension feel?

arrutled · 09-12-2010, 04:20 PM

They are 235 fronts. I had to change my sig, Thanks! Stick with dinan camber plates for anyone who cares for my opinion. I hated vorshlag with stock springs. Vorshlag with smalled od springs ie a coilover set is a different story, probably awesome. I really like the dinan suspension. very compliant, even with runflats. The key is the shocks!

Eyeman · 09-12-2010, 07:29 PM

Looks great, the best I've seen the Apex wheels look! I missed the chromeline before it was mentioned, works great with the wheels. Looks like Dinan gives a little over an inch front drop, an inch or a tad less rear.

Sidh135i · 09-12-2010, 07:56 PM

looks nice!

Bdh821 · 09-12-2010, 08:22 PM

Looks sweet! Nice and clean, for once.

Did Dinan fix the noise it was making?

nice stance and meaty rears!...any modifications to the fenders needed?
Dinan=koni yellows..right?
I've thinking about the apex's or the vmr's.I love the weight of the apex's.
...and the star specs are sticky as they come for the money.

looks like a perfect drop!

Sal@AUTOcouture · 09-13-2010, 08:49 PM

how come 235/275 instead of 225/255?

arrutled · 09-14-2010, 05:01 AM

bigger is better

GaryS · 09-14-2010, 05:30 AM

would 245 fit up front?

On a serious note tho the reason I ask is because with those tire sizes compared to stock sizes, you have a 2.5%+ rolling diameter difference. So your odo and speedo are now off.

They are off 5% anyways (EU laws), whats it matter?

GaryS · 09-15-2010, 06:06 AM

Cool, I didn't know about the EU law. With stock tires, my speedo read way too high. With 255 in back, it still reads 62-63 when I'm really doing 60.
