To be clear, in the pics the car was just taken down from the jacks and rolled out of the driveway. So it's not really settled, I think. It should come down some more once I've driven a bit with it, I think. For now, I'll just crank it down the remaining 5mm and see what that gets me when all is done. If it isn't enough, there's always the option of having the springs pressed. Also, I think the front may be riding on the bumpstops currently... gonna have another look at that.

looks mean
tho, the front "only" coming down another 5mm? think it needs to come a little more down, to balance out the rear.

[Dr.AK]

Front: 5mm thread left
Rear: All the way down.

I noticed that the passenger side rear fender is a lil wider than the drivers side, so I'll have to adjust that a bit more, but all in all, I'm absolutely amazed.

I think I'll crank the front all the way down too and call it a day.

[Zic]

its tomorrow today!! pics, im really curious how the rear fitment is.

[Mexican]

Heart.

[Dr.AK]

Not yet. Tomorrow. I'll be cranking the front coils down then (rears were already adjusted to the lowest possible setting) and maybe even pull it out of the driveway. Then I'll supply shots with the BBS on all 4 corners.

[Zic]

show us some with the wheels installed.

[Dr.AK]

Did my arches together with my dad... I'll keep it short.

They were slightly rolled last year by this retard from a local shop, but he didn't scrape out the undercoating beforehand.

So I had to bend the fender edge back, scrape that shit out, then roll it again. And I rolled and pulled it until I had enough space with the BBS to roll hard without worrying about fender rub. If the suspension is fully depressed, there's 3-4mm space between the fender and the wheel lip, so it's also good for driving with 240km/h on the Autobahn again. Visually it's a slight bit too much pull, but for the sake of driveability and not-fucking-up-my-wheelsability, I don't care.

Pulled fenders:



Adjusted the bumper mounting tabs and now it fits like a glove with the bumper:










It's not perfect. There's some imperfections. But I think for the first time ever doing this, it came out great.

I'll be trying to build up the stock looking outer fender edge, because I don't like the look when the fender is pulled smooth.

nice rims!!! they are similar to the OZ Futuras....according to your locations...did you visit the meeting in cologne yesterday? it was at a parking lot near a sea.

Yep, I was there. I came in my mother's 5-series Touring, lol... hey, it's modded! It's got smoked turn signals

Was quite an impressive turnout yesterday! Easily 500-600 cars...
