New wheels and a little lower. I don't know, tell me what you think.

91Kevin · 01-17-2011, 07:57 AM

I see what you're saying now. I got them like this used from WSTO but I'll take it somewhere and see. These tires confuse the hell out of me.

91Kevin · 02-27-2011, 02:27 PM

I lowered the rear a little more trying to balance it out (drivers side was a little higher) but now the drivers side is lower so once I go home again I'll put it on the lift and figure it out lol

I took a few more pictures. Ignore the holes in the front bumper (obviously where the headlight washers go) I was doing some work and I forgot to put them back on lol

Makkasteez · 02-27-2011, 02:49 PM

way sick!
what FMIC is that?

91Kevin · 02-27-2011, 03:24 PM

That's the Active Autowerke. Since these photos, I've put the stock plastic grille back in front of it, it was getting too dented lol

And man your car with the orange CSLs looks awesome. You've possibly inspired me to do something crazy with some CS7s

Makkasteez · 02-27-2011, 06:52 PM

Haha thanks dude I want that fmic with no plastic cover lol it looks meann

you should definitely get it, well worth it.

how do you like those tires? a friend of mine is considering them

The reason for that is because those tires are Vredestein Ultrac Sessantas. They're not directional meaning you can mount them in whichever direction and you can rotate them from one side to the other

fancyfl1ght · 03-01-2011, 10:43 PM

Wow! great pics. How you like the StopTech brakes combined with the lighter forged volks? Do you feel a little more agile than before?

NFIDDY5 · 03-02-2011, 09:20 AM

Wouldn't you want more camber on the rear since its a RWD car? And man I miss my VOLK Time Attack CE28's. VOLKS look amazing on just about anything NOT American. And painting or powdercoating the FMIC is not a good idea. I learned that from experience unfortunately.

escobar929 · 03-02-2011, 11:30 AM

looks great, but i would def check out the issue w/ the front tires, it does look like one in mounted backwards

check to see if they say outside or something like that on the sidewall, sometimes they just have arrows for the way its suppose to roll

meh, I'm not a huge fan of them. They get the job done for daily (I haven't put these on track) but my dad has put them on track on his E90 and he said he was having a hard time getting traction. I guess it comes down to how you're going to use the car.

Yes, there is a huge difference between stock and better brakes/lighter wheels. I've tracked both stock brakes and these, and I can honestly say these are worth the money.

I wasn't ever planning on painting the FMIC, nice and bright is what I like about it

And I'm still playing with the suspension. A new setup I'm about to run is probably going to require more rear camber

I've checked, everything is mounted correctly.
But honestly I don't like these tires anyway lol
