New forum for the XI owners?

SWEET~ Nice feature. We can all talk about how we can get to work in style in the middle of a freaking snow storm.

Kudos to the owners and the mods!

Many suspension mods, AWD issues and I am sure we'll all talk about 17" vs 18" for our xi cars.

I think it'll be great cause all of the xi'ers will finally have a forum to collect our learnings.

Thx again mods.

Yea seriously. You guys notice the enormous front wheel gap? I have the stock 17"s still on as I'm contemplating which rims to get and the wheel gaps are painful to look at.

I think we should start a support group for this wheel gap issue. Maybe start a little fund to help the brothers to all get coilovers so they can sit however high or low they want

Heh. Works for me. Suspension is on my list of to-do's for my car. But only after I get the M-sport kit first, a new trunk, and a set of rims. I'm stuck between M6 reps, Morr VS7s, and CSL reps.

LMAO. I'm still stuck on my stock 16" - saving up for 19" V-710s .
