Hi ksquare
Nice car! Breytons? Had to look very closely at your pics to see the drop. It is very discrete. Probably will look at putting on the acs springs when my 6 mos period is up. |

Been driving the car for about 2 weeks now, and i had a pleasant surprise. With the new springs, I actually am getting better mileage! Before the change, my mileage was at a stable 17.8-18 L / 100km. Its now dropped to 17.5 . Nice. So, not only do i get a better ride handling, i also get better mileage! and this while the ride is still at a comfortable level. All in, well worth the cheap and quick upgrade. |

That really worries me, I wonder if I can get fatty tires (ie tires wider than rims) so if I touch the kerb, the tires will be scratched instead of the rims.

Therefore, after some research work, found the closest to be the Breytons. i understand Breytons supply to bmw oem rims as well. thus you see some similarities. other styles as well. hard to believe it, but its true. my only logical explanation is that since the body of the car is not moving like a "boat", the engine is more efficient in carrying the car. |

watch the revs on 'M' (manual) mode, its easy to forget at traffic light, then when u go, the gear doesn't change and the revs spike up really high, which may not be a good idea b4 break in or on cold engine and left /right paddle shift u may accidently downshift when u want to upshift -another potential rev killer |
