cant wait to see it with the RS's on, tyler!
we'll have an RS photoshoot this summer

Thats forsure, we will have a bit of a crew going on ahahha. Beebs crew lol.

i have to check the 3/2/G forum more often so i don't miss threads like this. Nice progress!

Thanks, Yeh I see there isnt alot of traffic in this section, Im so used to the corrado forum!


So The paint color that was used for the wheels is Bmw Atlantis Blue--such a hard color to capture with ****ty lighting---in my pics it looks nothing like in person









I also added in some additional reflectiveness/ glass beeds. So at night its reflects light like road signs. This was more of a test to see if it would work, but it looks neat in person. Definatly different, I took these pics with the flash so you can see the reflectiveness. It doesn't show up until extreme light is on it.




Drying ahahah



After been drying for few days it was needing some wax on the clear coat---protect it from brake dust






More pics to come on the wheels, I hope to have the tires mounted and them on the car Today Flyday!

[Radvr6T]

For now as winter status--still tends to snow and be crappy here, not today though

[euro+tuner]

Do you have a higher resolution of this

[Radvr6T]

Pmd!

hit up Speedline on Facebook

[Clun9]

The LBs with that blue looks pretty good actually. Surprised me for sure.

[5i1verbu11et]

I saw this in person today, looks great!

[Radvr6T]

Im hesitant to put the bbs one due to the fact the rear is down all the way and remains to be quite high.


Any advice on what I should or can do? remove the middle or rear collar for the koni coils?

I just want the rears to be a bit lower so it doesnt look funny with 205/45 on my 9s in rear



Pic of ride height








any suggestions are greatly appeciated

[MTVolks]

Yeah man... Put ONLY the spring out back. No perch, no adjusters.. nothing but the spring.

That's how I'm running my KW's and it's perfect height.

[Radvr6T]

So just put this peice back in with the spring>OR?

[5i1verbu11et]

I think you should scrap the coilovers and toss them in the back of my car

[Clun9]

Well the thing is, your Koni's don't go low enough to reduce the wheel gap with a 17" RS and stretched tires. Even with the perches and collars all out the spring itself is significantly taller than say B&Gs, KWs or H&Rs. The Koni's do ride nicely though.

[Radvr6T]

I have a feeling I will be removing the rear to try an accomidate the new shoes sometime soon.


-While she is up on the hoist the new Autotech Rear sway bar will be going in hopefully

Been alot of work and fine detail to get to this point.

BBS wheel specs? car looks nice

[Radvr6T]

BBS wheel specs? car looks nice

They are 17x9 all around.

As for offset I am not entirely sure but I know they have a staggered offset from front to back.

I am also running a 5mm spacer in the front and have yet to install the 5mm ones for the rear . Without them looks semi decent. I am waiting on my hub centric rings before I might try them

Trying to get the car detailed in time for the weekend. I will post up some pics of before and after!

[00noma]

would be nice to get some new pics in here
