alright sweet! right now i can't really drive anywhere x.x ima get the preliminary fender shiz done tomorrow then add a little more camber THEN it's a waiting game for those powertrix coils x.x

 

qft

 

roll first. then set height. once everything is sitting low, then deal with camber. soon as you start lowering the car, you get more negative camber. don't mess with camber until the coilovers and wheels are all on. it should be the very last thing you mess with.

 

hahah maximal flushness FTW.. well my plan is to see if i can get some fender work done tomorrow and see if it's driveable. if it is, i'll save the camber settings for later, but if not, i think i want to run some more camber for the time being just so i can make a turn without rubbing, then just get it realigned when i drop the coils in. i hate trapping the beastlyness of the car inside the garage lulz

 

Will be well worth the wait

 

I counting on it!! Hope they're here before fsc so I can be hardparked with you tilt (: nohomo..

 

Having a low car =/= driving slow. Sideskirts just mean scraping the ground when driving aggressive

Hardparking is all the rage too though, gotta agree

 

So guys I think I need some spacers in the front, Just a couple questions I know its hard to tell me without seeing it but I can stocl one finger in between where the fender is and the tire. So im thinking I need some 5mm spacers will I have problems with turning if I do this like is my tire gonna be rubbing the fender? It already is close when fully turning.

Also will I be able to run 5mm spacers with stock studs?

 

go to a store and ask if you can test fit a pair. i don't see why they wouldn't let you because 5mm's are only slip ons. it'd be pretty hard to damage them, but i could be wrong o.o

 

5mm spacers are fine on stock studs.

 

If you'd like to buy a pair of 5mm spacers for cheap to try out, let me know

5mm would be the maximum that is safe on factory studs.

Here are the last few pics I'll post of my car with this setup in this thread, unless anything changes. I was walking back to my car and couldn't help myself but take these! I wish this front hung a little lower but eh, what are you gonna do?

 

What are your plans rear bumper wise? Aftermarket bumper? You need some of the appearance pack rear pieces in the mean time to sorta flow the sides into the back IMO. Make a carbon fiber lip to go under the front.

 

Really been thinking about a quad tip setup lately like the Abflug, Autobahn, Autoexe, or Kenstyle. Appearance package rear mud guards would do the trick for now, great idea!

 

Abflug - not sure how the ridges would flow with your setup.
Autobahn - sharp
Autoexe - the s2 version is hot, the se3p is kinda weird.
Kenstyle - Great design, not sure 'bout the rear light though.

Your car is sweet yo!

 

i need to stay the hell away from this thread, i come on here and i instantly get the urge to buy new coilovers and slam my 8 haha...ahh!!!

 

tint? :p lol jk only thing i could point out

 

IDK why anyone says that bumper is ugly, I think its awesome, kinda like the mazdaspeed but different.

And tilt send me a PM about those spacers, I think 5mm will be perfect.

 

+1, the Abflug would be sick if it had some slight modifications.

Konig - Do it, haha! Powertrix!

Haha Mike, I know! I wanted tint but at the same time, I sorta dig the fishbowl look.

 

It's so nice to see your car cleaned up with clears and all Tilt. Looks sick.

 

Thanks 9k! Hope that turbo build of yours is going well!

 

still needs a little work to get these fitted, but i think i finally belong in this thread (:



edit: i guess i'll post specs ONE more time. 18x10.5 +15 with 265/35/18

 

aggressive. fender pulling time.



I ordered some spacers. 20mm for the front, 10mm for the rear. I'll post when I get them installed.

 

damn you and your white varrstoen's too sexy lol hahaha thats what i wanted to run on my m3, but idk if i can do it i know id get hate

 

Chad - Didn't know you had that lip, it'll look sick once you get it all set up with spacers! I'm a bigger fan of the super advan V.II's but you're pulling those off just fine, nice to see something different

 

Real TE-37s on my friends 330i.
