Unfortunately I would not recommend the ones I got.. for some reason, the map lights can't seem to stay on for more than 20 seconds and I'm trying to figure out why  Quote:

   sorry for the lack of updates guys! Between vacation and waiting for parts, I finally got it all setup! I'd like to thank #Tee and Dylan for answering some of my random questions for this unfamiliar platform  Front lip paint status: not so good, my clearcoat was way too thin so it's getting rock chips! Oh well, it was definitely a fun DIY at least  I dropped off the M3 sideskirts for paint and I'm having issues with the paint guy right now because he's being dodgy so I'll keep you guys posted. Kinda pissed right now but I'll post details when I get the skirts back. Apex ARC 8s The original fitment was 19x9.5 +22 225/35/19 19x10.5 +22 265/30/19 I had to get the tires downsized up front to 215/35/19 because I don't want to rub on these plastic fenders.. (225/35 shown) here is the 215/35/19 stretch:  Sadly I had to mismatch the tires because they didn't have any 215/35/19 in stock with the new tires I bought. I originally bought Ohtsu FP8000 (Ohtsu owns Falken, and these are an FK452 remake). I changed the fronts and ended up with Delinte D7s (wanted to try out the stretch without breaking the bank, not much else in stock  )Here's what you've all been waiting for! Teh arrival of coilovers! I ended up with 15k/20k. It DID come in before Christmas hallelujah!  Unfortunately there was an issue with shipping the rear springs. Since SWIFT is about 20-30 minutes from me, Jaze drop shipped it to my house except he didn't specify the address to them so they shipped it to him... across the country Oh well, great customer service! He 2 day shipped them to me as soon as he could and they arrived soon after.  In the midst of the waiting period, I just went ahead and installed the front coilovers in the meantime because I'm impatient. I dropped it in maxed out with all locking rings still in place and this is what I got:  This is EXACTLY what I wanted! Of course this was before the spring even settled so it would have been lower, probably by A LOT if it weren't for the frame sitting just above the fender liner! Unfortunately, With these tires and the camber setting I put it in at, It would've broken the fender if I had turned the wheel  My solution was to settle and raise the car, add spacers, and just go for poke fitment and this was what I ended up with:  Only one emoji can explain how I felt about this...  Wheel gap and poor fitment.. it wasn't cutting it for me. It didn't look NEARLY as good as it did slammed! After some hesitation I decided to just figure out how to slamtown it and be a little different   rear springs arrived, what a beauty! While installing the rear setup, this bottom nut from the passenger shock was stuck for 3 hours . Eventually figured it out by using pliers and pulling/turning it down. There were still some threads here and there on the shock and the nut to get it stuck together.. I almost decided to cut it off lol. And to keep to long story short, I had 3 days worth of just fine tuning the suspension to get it to sit correctly with extremely minor rub (driveway up front) and to ride nicely!  ^^ in the air, no travel, had to raise the shock lol  Flush fitment dampening adjustment lmao, pretty much maxed out. I used bump stops to get it to sit like this under compression up front leaving my driveway. I only needed one per side vvvvv. It's perfect(I hope)!   Finally! She was off the driveway after solving my 3-wheeling problem. I took her for a spin and she was perfect! When driving on the streets there was no rub, nothing! And she rides super smooth for being so low! I applaud Broadway Static for their work . I'm not going to say it's like OEM because of course it's not. But for being so slammed the dampening is perfect. It takes bumps super nicely and doesn't jiggle my tits all over the place Now here's the bad news from today! After all the fine tuning and suspension work, of course I had to take her for an alignment!   I stressed to the aligner to keep the rear camber as negative as possible because I had adjusted the camber at home to get it to not rub. Unfortunately he could not get my toe straight for the rear without adjusting it .1 degree less camber on the passenger. Literally .1 degree. I was worried about it but I figured hey, it's .1 degree oh well I don't think it'll rub. MAN I WAS WRONG!! After final adjustments the fronts are -3.5 and the rears are -3.8 The rear passenger side starting rubbing on dips on the way home  I now have some fender rashing on the lip. Once I got home I busted out my angle grinder and shaved the passenger fender some more, and it took care of the rubbing issue. It's insane how much .1 degree of camber can affect your fitment and how much 1mm of fender can affect it as well lol. I'll take some better pics of my fitment so you guys can see how it is. My fronts are weak right now but after so much hard labor adjusting it to get it driveable (since it is my daily) I don't want to mess with it right now.That's all I have for now until the sideskirts are done. Thanks for reading through all of this and sorry for the slow update  |

looks good! 714 tires charges about 40-45 for toe only adjustments which is perfect what we do. thats awesome you handled the install and mods yourself too! #thejourney

Thanks guys! I'm actually kind of unhappy with the height and wish it was 1/2" lower . I haven't worked on my front fitment yet because I've been lazy (and need spacers) but here are some photos.. I can make the rears fender to lip but I don't like when the rears are tucked more than the front, and it's pretty much impossible to make the fronts any lower than that Currently confused about where I am headed with the car now.. I will probably get an Mtech rear and I might get fronts as well but I'm not sure yet. Quad exhaust is like a MUST for this car.. I have to admit that this car is much harder to work with than I had expected.. I got the M3 sideskirts on and as expected, they have some minor fitment issues just like 90% of everyone else haha! The paint is terrible.. 6/10 job. It's real clean with no orange peel but his customer service was 1/10 and he still has my tow hook cover. Many false promises and flakes often. lots of dripping on one sideskirt and even paint chips. SMH I guess I will stick to those that I know . I honestly should have just done it myself but just because I lack a proper paint booth I didn't want to do it.   Last edited by Narvin; 01-08-2016 at 12:59 AM.. |

So I thought I could do 19" because it looks dope on the E92 but same issue with the E39 and 19"... I got over it because it's not comfortable
So I did a last shoot (working on my photography... my editing is still a little sucky, but it's progressing!) here is just a tiny snippet...    and then I moved on and got some ESR SR07 (te37 reps) 18". My buddy david owns ESR wheels so I don't mind repping them . I know ya'll hate reps or whatever but wheels are just wheels I raised it about 1/2" up front and I got carbon side diffusers + ugly home depot front lip (because my car is sooo 4x4 after raising it  )I am now on 18x9.5 +12 (+22 with 10mm spacer) 225/40/18 18x10.5 +22 255/35/18 Toyo Extensa HP It rides WAY better and handles a lot better too        Photos are a little too blue so I should've re-edited it but YOLO I have to study for my quizzes. next to come should be M-tech front and rear with a quad exhaust setup..

I went with the Forcewerkz side diffuser.. my buddy owns that company  If you decide to go with it I wouldn't recommend drilling holes until you mock it up because some of the pre-marked holes didn't line up correctly Quote:
