Nice car and mods so far! Looking forward to hear/see how the KW V1’s work out for you.

What are the wheel specs?

Thanks!

Its been awhile since I installed them or even drove the car lol but i think 19x8.5 235/40/19 front, 19x9.5 265/35/19 rear. The rear is going to be extremely tight. I will probably have to run the coilovers on highest setting and possibly dial in some negative camber. The front should be good, i hope that monster gap disappears. It should look worlds better once im done.

The coilovers have been delivered, so now its just a matter of me figuring out the best way to install them. Any reason why I couldn't install the rears one day and the front on a different day?

The car is still in storage. Until the weather breaks, I wont install the coilovers. I plan on taking the car to a rent-a-lift and knocking it out. I'm thinking in 2 weekends I should be able to do it.

I fit 235/35/19 front and 275/30/19 no problems on dinan springs. I believe your rears will not rub at all with 265/35/19.

I had ET42, but I still think ET35 should be okay, KW V1 doesn't drop as much.

Made a little more progress. I installed the AFE dry intake - drop in filter. I also managed to change both Oil Filter Housing Gaskets. This job took me about 2.5 hours start to finish. I took it slow even though I have done this before on my N52 car. I would say if you have some free time and need to fix this leak, I would DIY. Mine wasn't leaking too bad yet, but i do have 55K miles and I could start to see it failing along the back and slightly in the front.

I had no issues on the track. I'm at less than 1 finger gap all around.

I just installed the Power Stop Track day pads. The bite is very good, however, I am squealing like no other. These are worse than my original M sport pads. I am going to take them out and grease the pads tonight. I tried using this Permatex Brake Quite instead, but with no luck. I should have stuck with what I know works. I am also going to flush brakes and use Motul RBF 600. I will report back on the track results this weekend!
