B14 kit arrived a week or so ago, finally got round to opening the box for a look. These things really do feel good quality, cant wait to get them on the car. Tyres will be going on this week some time, and I've booked the car in for suspension and four wheel alignment next month. Just need to get some spacers now, either 10/12mm or 12/15 still havent decided.

Finally got round to fitting the tyres yesterday. These look a much better fit on the 405m than the P Zero's in my opinion dispite being the same sizes. The fronts look best to me with a nice square sidewall, the rears have a minimal stretch in comparison and look slightly smaller because of it. It looks like a 265/30 would be the ideal size but thats me being fussy.
I haven't pushed them yet as I'm still scrubbing them in but they obviously feel better on the car than the run flats. Here are a few pictures for reference for those interested in how they look Last edited by B58_Touring; 03-15-2019 at 12:21 PM.. |

Might have missed it, but I’d love to see what spacers you go with. I’m on the fence with the same options as you 10/12 or 12/15.

Here you go mate, that's for the rear trim only with the slot in it.

This. If it was a special order option, that might have enticed me to buy new rather than used.

Took the car in to Revolution in Gateshead to have the Bilstein B14 coilover kit fitted. The cars been lowered approximately 30mm front and 20mm rear to even out the arch gaps. I asked them to leave a finger gap between the arch and tyre and they've pretty much got it spot on. They can go lower but I'm going to see how I get on at this height and if I have no issues getting around then I might drop them and other 5 - 10mm.
I had already fitted 12mm front and 15mm rear spacers. Before it was lowered the fronts poked out a little too much for my liking so I was going to change them to 10's. However the slight camber they have after being lowered tucks them nicely in to the arches and they now sit perfectly. I haven't got many miles on them yet but initial impressions are good, there is no significant decrease in comfort over the passive m sport suspension - one of my concerns as this is my main car. You can feel they are firmer especially at lower speeds around town but certainly at higher speed and on the motorway they are an improvement. I'll live with them a little longer before trying to give an honest opinion on how they perform and how they are to live with day to day. But at this moment I'm very happy. |

Gorgeous matey! Love the M3 trimmed steering wheel changeover. Have you thought about adding the M3 paddles as well?

Haha! Thanks mate, really pleased with how its looking.
Thanks, I did have a set to put on but I sold them. Looking at getting these extended aluminium paddles from paddleshifterz.com. I love the ones that come in the Giulia Quadrifoglio, these are a similar size and style without looking too aftermarket. |

Thanks pal, yeah it is a shame they didn't release it over there. I'm sure there would be some awesome examples if they had
