Debating on which vehicle I should drive down to florida this spring break. It’s a little over 1000miles, and I want to take my Tundra to get used to driving long distance in it for when I go to school in Montana and drive out there, but the ZHP is just calling my name from the garage. Shouldn’t really have to worry about weather(snow) going down south. The ZHP would get about 9mpg better fuel economy, but would also be more susceptible to being pulled over(with my luck anyway). Thoughts?

How is this even a question?Quote:

That drive is going to suck either way, so might as well do it in the car you prefer driving.
The only Firestone I’ve heard of that does them is the one BP used. I had one Indy shop here that used weights but they charged north or $250 for an alignment. I haven’t gone back. Some places say they car won’t clear to get on the rack...? Some just don’t understand how to do it correctly (I think).
I recommend bimmershops.com or your local network to find a good Indy shop.
The Firestone I was at proposed an alignment after they mounted the tires. I wonder if they would've stopped when they got to the car.
Any advice on picking out wheel spacers that won't rub on a ZHP sedan with stock springs? I was thinking 10 or 15mm?
What wheels/tires are you planning to run? Diameter, width, offset?Quote:

I think 10 or 12.5 on all four corners is a really nice fit. 15s can rub on large compression. This is assuming you’re on factory sized rubber.Quote:

I'd go 10mm all around. You can go up to 15mm in the front but I like the balance of 10 square and you don't have to worry about rubbing. Some people have had rubbing with 12.5mm in the rear.Quote:

31107836862 , 31107836863 for pressed in

Last night my passenger door stopped operating from either inside or outside. The lock actuator is up. I'm going to into PA Soft looking for things to clear, but I'm wondering if there are other things I should be looking at or aware of...?
That happened on my 323i. It need a new module.

I always just get the whole thing for ease of installation... you'd probably want to check with you mechanic to make sure there is no additional labor charge for pressing them in...Quote:

There is a guy on e46f that sells the Z4 bushings pressed into the e46 lollipops. Something like $90 and you just send him your old ones in exchange.Quote:

They are available pre pressed for ~$180
If he charges $110 to press them in and they are $50, it may be worth the extra $20 of them being pre-pressed to ensure perfect alignment of the bushings and for the warranty

I would just get the bushings that are already pressed into the lollipops. Much easier and worth the $ imoQuote:

definitely gloss, 100%
Matte.
Well this is a divide, lol

shh, no. Don't misguide people like that! :P
Always stick with OEM.
I'm with you on the gloss. I want to eliminate the silver cube trim and chrome badging and replace with solid gloss black to make the color palette a bit simpler. I considered doing the OEM high gloss set but its got a metallic flake in it. I has to be solid for me. Going to try to spray paint a spare set i have and see how it comes out.Quote:

Matte

The matte maintenance is definitely something I worry about, and I’m also going to be painting my mirrors to gloss(bc for some reason they weren’t even painted TiAg). I just feel like the gloss would match the shine of the paint, and would look gorgeous when it’s all cleaned up

Semi-gloss. :biggrin
I've always wanted to paint mine gloss black but have been too cheap and lazy to bother.
My vote is gloss though.

I got the brake pad sensor light (yellow with no exclamation). I think they're fine, but what is the warning for? Does it trigger at a certain thickness?
