Fresh off the truck:
Wheels and Tires from Eric at Supreme Power: www.supremepowerparts.com Advan RS-D's 19x9 +22 front (PSS 265/30) and 19x10 +20 rear (PSS 295/30) The start of it's stint in the capable hands of Mr Mueller: www.muellerized.com The Motons are in! The 1M has officially been Muellerized: Ground Control front camber plates and rear shock mounts for the coil-over converstion..... And, of course, Moton Club Sport double adjust coil-overs with Mueller specific valving. Wheel fitment issues: 265's/295's on the stock wheels: Bumber modifications provided by the **** that rear ended me on the 101: Rolling shot by Victory John @ www.highwayphotos.net I'll post more updates as I get them....

I'm just starting out with the normal stuff (aka wheel and suspension mods), then I'm painting it Atlantis Blue and figuring out what to do with the S65 engine sitting in my garage. The sky is the limit with this project.

I love that thing! The RS4 is a keeper until it starts having electrical issues. It's one of the best cars I've ever owned, plus I love the dirty looks I get from the M3 crowd.

Damn. That's my project! I made a cost analysis spreadsheet and everything. Damn my not have 50K to spend on my 1
Seriously welcome. I've seen your RS4 build and it's pretty wicked. And lol at this thread. But IMO Laguna Seca Blue is a better blue than Atlantis. |

Advan RS-D's 19x9 +22 front (PSS 265/30) and 19x10 +20 rear (PSS 295/30) Now it's off to get a set of Ohlins TTX's (or Moton MS) to aid in the battle against wheel gap. |

How is the fitment with that wide a tire? Tried the PSS 295/30-19 (from my other car - ET25 offset) and they seem to big for the rear.

Good question. I haven't seen the car, so I don't know how well it fits. I plan on getting the fenders pulled regardless if the wheels fit or not, but I'll see if I can get the guys at the dealer to take a few more photos of the fitment.

Great to hear 295 PSSs fit with no rubbing issues, I barely squeezed them in 275/30/19 guise in the RS4, should be called Super Squares! Was planning myself to perhaps slap on the 1///M the rear 265 PS2s up front and do 285/30s in the rear. That, 10mm spacers, and the Motons ought to cure fendergapitis!

Car looks great! I'm interested to hear your thoughts on your Motons.

My thoughts on the Motons? Well, how can I put this...... They're fking EPIC!
Saying that a few hard canyon runs trying to keep up with Ronin (the guy with the twin charged exige/rocket that's plastered all over the internet) while my car was still stock exposed some "handling flaws" would be the understatement of the century. The sharp elevation changes, rough surfaces, and varying camber corners were starting to make a real mess out of the chassis once I cranked the pace up to around 6/10. While the car did give me the confidence to hang at that clip all day, it still always felt like I was fighting with it. The car was all over the place with the electronic nannies switch off. If it wasn't understeering, it was oversteering (sometimes both in the same corner) and the body control felt like something akin to an old Cadillac. It seemed like I couldn't keep the thing from punishing it's bumpstops without backing the pace down. Regardless, the 1M was still a boat load of fun. Back to the shop for the install: WOW! What a difference two days and a set of Club Sports makes. I can now comfortably run at 7/10s without breaking a sweat. While there is still a little understeer and a rear bottoming issue (the car doesn't take being airborne well....... yet) that needs to be dialed out, I'm no longer trying to forcibly unsettle the chassis just to get the thing turned in. The rear end with the coil over conversion is, for lack of a better term, planted. It stays put unless I want it to come out and play. The body control was well worth the sacrifice in comfort now that all pitching, rolling, and yawing mess has been cleaned up. There's still a bit of fine tuning that needs to be done, but it's already a massive improvement over stock. I managed to kill the PS2's in 3000 miles, so it's time huck the Advans and PSS's back on.
