Not for a while - I'm going back to business school and a lot of funds are going there. But I did just got a set of new winter wheels/tires. I'll mount them in the next couple weeks and post some pics. Next summer I plan to get some wider non-runflat rubber on the stock 18s. In the future I plan to do M3 suspension parts, performance exhaust, LCI tails, and possibly new summer wheels.

which spacer size

Hi guys,

I currently have stock OEM rims with 255/35/18 on the rear and 225/ 40/18 on the front. What size spacers could i go with to get the best looking stance and most plush finish without rubbing. The car is on standard suspension.

Cheers

I'm really considering the FSD's down the road but I've read they require frequent rebuilds. Would love to hear your long term review after you've racked up 30k or so.

12 front and rear is a safe bet for no rubbing and more presence with a wider stance.

I actually sold the car a few months back after clocking around 20k with zero issues. The ride was compliant and was able to keep the car balanced during spirited mountain and b road drives. Never tracked the car though. I haven't heard of rebuild kits for the fsd dampers. I assume they would last near as close to OEM equipment with standard use.

If I had to do it over again I would have opted for HP Autowerks Koni coilover kit with m3 sway bars.

Thanks, very helpful. If not FSD my 2nd choice would've been the TCK or HPA single adjustable Koni kit as well.
