    For anybody interested...

    Last month I posted up a thread about wheels, fitment, etc. I also posted up my review of my beloved Broadway Static coilovers. Well, I got my wheels in, put some fresh rubber on them, and dialed in my coilovers for some photos last night. I like the way she turned out. Hope you guys agree.

    Wheels:
    Raderwerks C8 18x9 et35

    Suspension:
    Broadway Static Fortune 500 coilover- 18k springs, shortened bodies.

    Photos:
    Cleveland....

    Well you certainly have no wheel gap. I would probably raise it up a hair. Maybe a 1/4". I'm not a big fan of the tucked look.

    The car is super clean though. Love the skyline pic.

    now be completely honest, how is the ride that low? I find when i have my coils dialed down that low that my ride is just too stiff/harsh. I would love to find a set of coils that will alllow me to have a nice low car but with completely OEM ride quality.

    Car looks great though!!! Love the low look


    I really have no idea what I am doing

    Nice looking wheels, had not heard of that manufacturer before.

    I like the height but might could use just a little higher, for practicalities sake.

    Thanks everyone. I appreciate you being honest and polite even if you aren't a fan.

    Bull: it rides great. I have the dampening set somewhere in the middle both front and back and I don't go too heavy on the spring preload when I installed them.

    Dane: it rides okay! It's certainly more fluid at higher speeds. It's not a huge champion on the inner-city streets of downtown Cleveland, but what coilovers are, ya know? I certainly have some more dialing in to do; there's no camber or anything at the moment and I think I might run the dampening out just a little. But I've definitely been on bouncy, obnoxious coilovers and these are not anywhere near as bad as those. It feels relatively stock until there's a big fault line in these Ohio roads....

    Will: raderwerks are more commonly used in the VW market. I thought I would be a rebel and use the other side's brands needless to say, they look better on a bmw.

    Thank you everyone, I'm looking forward to some shows this year, hopefully I'll see some of you out there.
