LOVE how the car sits. I live in the South Bay but in the City on most weekends. I am contemplating about going 21s. I like the look better but worry about the overall ride. When you say rough, is it like civic on cut springs rough or is it big ruckess in the car when going over pothole kind of rough?

Thanks.

It is rough when you drive along the rough roads that have potholes or typical San Francisco roads, especially like in Financial District, downtown market area, China Town, and Van Ness. But in highway and bumpy roads, the car feels comfortable. I would suggest to go 20" with a thicker profile tires, if you drive a lot around the city. If not, go with 21" imo

I thought it was your car rolling down Geary. I was fighting with my girl in her car so I was too distracted to pay 100% attention when you rolled through. lol. I live in the South Bay but in Downtown/Sunset alot. My ride is stock, need to finish up my S2k before I can dump money on the F10.

Looks awesome.

Honest question - How do those brembo brakes feel compared to stock? I've always had BBK's on my previous cars and while they do look alot nicer not all of them actually improved braking feel and stopping distance. Whats your honest take on them on the F10?

I would say that the BBK will give significant improvement esp for the big wheels although I don't really feel it when braking.. You will feel the difference once you put them back on stock.
