So what do you guys think?

[Chard]

It's time to buy a set of my wheels [:D]

[ActiveMonkey]

I just showed my boss, don, and he said something like that. "We'll see if we can give you some overtime so you can go get some wheels."

[Kievskiy]

what did you do? its not that high but not low too, with eibachs that i got my car dropped alot....

[ActiveMonkey]

I put them on as specified? I dunno. Maybe they will settle?

[dukez]

Screw the wheels, why throw away a set of good tires. [:D] Wait till they are gone then consider wheels and new tires.

[ActiveMonkey]

mine, which i bought in April of last year, are now down to the wear bars... so i need new one. lol

[BMWALDO]

I just showed my boss, don, and he said something like that. "We'll see if we can give you some overtime so you can go get some wheels."

Haha. Your boss was thinking right. Thats pretty slic. Too bad the springs didn't lower another inch or two.

Rims next!

[VroomVroom]

The stance is perfect - I like it. So, did an airbag deploy or is that a balloon? :)

[SeKKeY]

you need to by my 18'' bbs's

[norcatalyst126]

Looks better bro, but definately could be lower!!!...maybe it'll look different with some 19's on there...

[ActiveMonkey]

It was a balloon my GF got me. She filled my car with a shit load of little balloons that i had to pop just tp get in. I will have my revenge!! *shakes fist*


I'm ok with the height, but i'll wait a month and see if it "settles"


I will never put 19's on a B5. Ever. Although some 18's would look damn nice.

[Johns_Orange_b5]

looks good, the ride is like stock. I have a set of these for sale. PM me if anyone wants them, i'll let them go for $100 picked up.

Set of what for 100?

[Daddy MO]

Finally... GOSH!!! Now paint the lowers or better yet, paint it coke white!!!

[ActiveMonkey]

I would like to paint it white, but how much would it cost to repaint the car from a reputable shop?

My kick ass paint job deals are all the way in Santa Rosa. Would you drive it that far?

[ActiveMonkey]

fuck yea! i mean... i would think about it.[:D]

[Daddy MO]

I also have hook up in San Mateo at a buddies shop. His turn around time is slow right now though but he does good work. The place in Santa Rosa is soo huge they can get your car done fast. I can get a quote based on your pics but it will only be a ball park. They might need to do more prep work if you have dings or anything.

I say you do a white with a blue pearl or just straight coke white!!!

[ActiveMonkey]

No pearl. Just solid white. Like the new Audi's white...

[Kievskiy]

18's will look better then 19'n in your case! maybe new rs4 reps? or the ones that Chard put for sale.....

[ActiveMonkey]

i really like the Borbet Type Ls

[Daddy MO]

Mesh rims on the B5 never get played out. Never, ever, ever...

[ActiveMonkey]

Mesh Rims? Like a fractel pattern (BBS) what kind do you soeak of.

[MYBMW05]

hres are great. they are very durable and look awesome. its the way to go if you have 4-5k to blow on just rims =)

[Chard]

Good IDEA! Thanks Kievskiy, hehe.

[Kievskiy]

^lol, u welcome.

[azndrunk74]

Looks good man, your springs will settle in a few weeks. 18's will definitely look nice!

[Daddy MO]

Actually they wont settle much. Hes riding on S4 shocks and struts.

[Kievskiy]

that what i was about to say, lol, s4 is havier so the shock can be either longer or have totaly different pressure....

[ActiveMonkey]

even if they don't settle i'm fine with that. I like the ride height.

[ActiveMonkey]

Just finished washing the car so here's another picture

http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n131/ActiveMonkey/DSC03196.jpg

[BMWALDO]

So how much did you give the kid?

[azndrunk74]

What happend to the 17's that you had??

[RAVI]

wheres the after pics? (jk)

as long as you like it.. i really dont see much imporvement from 4x4

[ActiveMonkey]

There's a big difference

http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n131/ActiveMonkey/OldVSnew.jpg

[RAVI]

ok now i see.. you took the first pic with flash?


haha im playing.. i really can see the ever so slight difference now!

[ActiveMonkey]

lol. I think it will look better with 18's though

[Daddy MO]

Yeah, as long as you like the drop and yes, major improvement compared to stock. Looks like a stock sport drop IMO. If you put your 1.8 susp. back on your drop will be perfect.

I wish I had a kid to wash my car. Its dirtier than hell right now.

BTW... im about sold on H&R right now so I will be getting those soon.

[Johns_Orange_b5]

Set of what for 100?

100 for the same springs eibach pro kit, for some reason my car looked lower tho. idunno whatever. let me know if anyone wants em.
