New to the Site!

Hello,

I Have been surfing this website since I bought my RL last year, never joined it till recently. So I'm just doing a formal intro, Name is Ryan, from Toronto. I own a 2007 RL with the CBMS technology package. I haven't really modified my car, only thing I did was debatched it. Until yesterday when I installed my H&R springs. Onto some pictures, all comments are welcome, good or bad.
Future mods; Yellow fog bulbs, rims & A-spec kit. Enjoy.

Before the Springs,


After the springs


Will get some nice photos once the rims are on and the weather gets better in Canada.

Cheers,

Looks good. Looks like you still have some settling left in the springs.

Thoughts on wheels?

Welcome, I'm sure you will do more on your your future mods and keep on going after you get your new wheels. In regards to the H&R springs you will like them more once you break them in, trust me.

Thanks guys, It looks way better once settled in. I"m looking at two different rims, the BBS LMs love those, or the Vossen CV3. The vossen are 20x9 in the front and 20x10.5 at the rear. Kinda scared of the size, going to try it on tomorrow if i like it, i keep it. If not i'm going to order me some bbs. I will post up some pics once it's all up and ready.

nooo, I think it was just that picture, it's more of an even drop. I would like it if the front would drop more then the rear. but the look grow on you...starting to love the car more and more as the days go on. YOu will be happy. Dont worry!

Be careful going staggered. With those widths, you will need to roll the fenders too.

Thanks for the advice, yeah those sizes will require fender rolls, which i don't want to do. So i'm still shopping for wheels can't seem to pick one out. It's so hard to choose something unique and good at the same time. I'll keep you all posted once i get it.

yeah, I'm having the same problem...honestly, it looks like I'll be spending around 2K for just wheels with the choices I end up having.

That silver does look good. I was considering that flavor as I was looking for an RL. I am also new to the site as of today. I just bought an 08 red RL compass car 1 month ago.
