She is ready for track now...

Here is what I have on her...

1) Bilstein PSS9 coilovers (set on 6F/4R)
2) Ultimate Racing Catback exhaust
3) SSR comp CS wheels (18X8.5)
4) Michelin Pilot Sport Cup Wheels (235/40/18 - all four corners)

Cosmetic mods:
1) flat back center kidney grill
2) body colored front splitters

Still have to install the quaife LSD...when I have the time ..and can find someone locally I can trust with the install.

Once again, looks great!

The park distance control may come in handy if someone is on your tail.

Car looks great and awesome setup as well. So where do you plan on taking her out at with the new setup?



---edit---
Dont forget to add blacklines as cosmetic . IMO blacklines do a lot for the e90.

Wheels look great! What did you finally set the ride height at? Lip to hub center dimension and/or front/rear rocker panel to ground dimension? Front looks really low. Do you scrape on driveways? I got stuck on a underground parking structure entrance the other day do to the approach angle with my ride height.

I still think I need to raise up a bit...not sure of height..my driveway is slanted badly...and cant get in that garage until late yesterday. I have scraped the splitters once or twice...and at Golf-LAND USA I scraped badly on a speedbump with four teenagers in the car with me...I told them to jump out next time...sheesh.

Read my post that I just put up.

If you have a piggyback and drive hard, anything over mid 80s outside will not work. Another one, ie, in addition to the stock one.

Looks great! I love Bilstein PSS9s. Looks like my E46... though I have Volks instead of SSRs. Nice light track wheels.

LOL... we work for the same "C" company. :rocks:

You'll either see me in a TiAg E92 335i or a TiAg E46 323i.

I'm at the Malibu Hills office. We should do lunch one day.

I used to be in that office until the current division kicked us out. Our group was on the 1st floor on the left.

WTF?! Are you sure that's what they quoted?

It's listed as $550 for E90s.
