Long time without updating this thread...

The exhaust was too loud so I ended up adding a 3'' magnaflow muffler.

The passenger floor was repaired at the same time.

During winter I bought a set of Kosei K1 that needed some love. Here's how they look after a fresh white powder coat.

I went with a 245/40/17. I find that the tires are a little bit too tall, I think 235/40/17 would have been perfect but they are hard to find and more expensive.

How they fit with 12.5mm spacer in the front to clear the suspension. I tried a shorter spring (5'' without the helper spring) but even with the short spring, I wasn't able to fit the tire under the suspension.

I made a custom lip with my M3 front lip, it's not too bad but not low enough. I bought another non-m bumper to make a custom front lip. To be continued...
