Cool

See signature....

No regrets. I love them. The only thing negative I noticed is they seem to roll (for lack of a better word) it to the groves in the road more. I guess it is because there more rubber on the road!

I have Michelin Pilot XGT Z4 225/55-ZR16s on stock rims....very happy with them for their grip and all weather driveability. Paid slightly over $800 (forgot exactly how much) for them including mounting and balancing....the same size of tire is available as Michelin Pilot XGT H4 225/55-R16 designation and is a lot cheaper than the Z4s.

No rubbing at all for me, Ed...

I think I paid around $675 mounted and balanced for my Bridgestone's.

Ed- I hate that about the exhaust. I got my Mugen's in today and got them installed. They are awesome (and expensive)!! I hope you get the kinks worked out soon! Keep me updated.

I had the springs installed in October of this year (about 2 months ago). I know they are suppose to settle some. I wonder how long that takes? I done anticipate any problems though. Swaybars should go on later this week! I am excited about that. I may go ahead and get new shocks at that time, too.

Mr. TL,

No snow yet, but it might really soon. Just got them mounted last weekend.

I paid a bit more for the tires because I supported a local business:

$145 x 4 = $580.00
plus mounted and balanced = $40.00
plus tax = 45.00
TOTAL = $665.00
