True that. How hard is it to access the battery? It's not too bad in my e46.

I also wonder how long the cord is...

Had my PSS installed on my OEM staggered 18s. went 32 front, 35psi rear (same as stock)

They definitely do grip
The one thing I do have about them is that I feel like the tire flexes a lot more than oem rft and I feel the car really shift in the turns... definitely doesn't feel confident inspiring taking a nice steep S turn at speed. I have DHP and its on the stiff setting alos

Dude, that "flex" you mention is absolutely what you want in corners to a certain degree; says that the rolling pad (tread) of the tires are staying actually on the ground.

Now, a word of caution to you is about that the air rating on the door, it is for run flats. Now that you have go flats, 32 on the front set of low profile tires is a bit too low. Some of us have already stated this. A smarter set up would be 34/36.

Also, the faster you plan to drive, the more stiff you want your tire. Take that car up to 100mph on 32psi and you may feel a loss of control in the steering wheel; not good.

There are some options when it comes time for replacement. Enjoy the 001 from Bridgestone.
I have ContiSportContact 5 SSRs on my car. They were the OEM, and I bought a new set of four when the time came. I'm sure they aren't as fun as the PSSs, but they work for me.
