Hello

Just thought I'd say hello. Joined this site a while ago but forgot I had. Here's my 2008 DCT E92. Hope you like. It sits on Eibach Springs, 15mm front and 12 rear spacers and I have some genuine M359 wheels. Plan to do a few more mods in the future.

Stance and drop looks perfect with the Eibach's,good choise of tires with PSS !
The black wheels are the eyecatcher in contrast with Silverstone !
Car looks good and clean , but begs for LCI tallights !
No steering wheel vibrations with the spacers ?

Thanks. Yeah I plan to get the LCI lights at some point but had a baby recently so spending £££ has to be done without the wife finding out!

I'm a bit of a clean freak! Car gets proper TLC and I've spend days on the paint, it looks better than new in person and certainly doesn't look like its done 45k miles. I use Zaino products on it.

Plan to get a primary cat delete and re map soon and will be going 275/30 and 295/30 tyres when they're due a change, not a fan of the stretched look!

Get a slight vibration between 70-80 mph, I just make sure I cruise at 85 and its fine. Strangely I didn't get wheel wobble when I had the 220 rims fitted.

I see ... when you are planning to run with 20's wheels in combo with your drop , than keep in mind that the ride will be jumpy !

No keeping with these wheels, just going for wider rubber.

Belgium, you're funny about the LCI tails. I see you mention that on most everyone's cars pre 2011. I've had both with and without and don't really think it's all that different / important. I could definity think of a better way to spend $1,000!

For me pesonal the difference is huge and certainly in the dark when i'm seeing a pre 2011 ,and that from a big distance !
So that's not so funny and will say it again if you like it or not !
And when not that different...well that person needs some big glasses !
Amen !

No offense intended, I just thought it was a funny observation since I've seen you mention it before.

I guess for some it's a big deal!


Oh, and nice car OP, welcome.
