I just say hes racist.


I heard a desi comedian who had a bit similar to that, claiming the only thing he hated more then racism, was black people.

Sounds like a nice setup. Are you gonna install them yourself?

I will be installing them with a friend.

Its always nice to have an extra buddy in case a spring shoots out and hits you in the face.

I wasnt going to lower it but the wheel gap got to me. Plus i heard with the PSS9s i can adjust the dampening to make the ride quality better than stock. Should handle great too of course.

I will be tracking this before the summer is over.

Sweet pic... Are you changing the rear sway too? Since you're change the suspension...it'll be an awesome setup.

ok..just a suggestion b/c I heard the rear sways are pita to do b/c its under the frame or something like that. Since you are changing to coilcovers, I thought you would like to take care of the entire suspension in one shot.

Probably obvious, but make sure to get an alignment ~2-4 weeks after coilovers go on. Mine was *way* off after my KW install.

You should hook up with your local chapter bmwcca. I don't even own a bmw and I go to about 15-20 track days most of which are with them. They are great and they offer instructors for novice's. I would tell you to not go overboard with suspension since you daily drive the car I assume. The stock suspension will be fine for random track days and still give you a comfy dd. just my

^ Im already a member and know many people who are in the Chicago chapter. Plus I have done track days before with the Audi Club.

The PSS9s are actually adjustable so they are fine for either track or street use. No worries about ride quality there since i driven many cars with them.

Jesal, Looks absolutely amazing. Any plans for tint? I'd probably go 35% all around.

No real reason, just havent heard a reason to go with one over the other.

Plus i been in a few cars that had the PSS9s and i thought the ride quality was perfect for me.

Did you black out that orange reflectors on the front wheel archs? Are they body color or what?
