Get ready to show up in Little Bavaria. You know what BMW stands for, right? Basic Marin Wheels.

 

Or, BMW could stand for "Bad Motorist Warning"

 

 

like most modifications made to stock vehicles, suspension and wheels can acceleration wear and tear on bushings and other suspension componets. To say that running extra ruber, will harm your diff is a bit exagerated. I could run 10 inch wide wheels and have my diff last longer than one that Let's say... gets launched, tracked, or dragged.

 

in the 90's it was Black Mans Wheels with all the ghettofied 3 Series rollin duuuuuurty.


then I moved to Maine and the guys up there told me BMW stands for Big Maine Women

 

True. But ask any performance shop if and they will tell u to slam ur awd is not good. Eachvto their own really. Not my style. If I had a honduh yea.

 

Cause we need moar slammed civics around here ... again, Meh.Saying one type of car works slammed, and another doesn't...*insert eye roll *
To each his/her own.

 

Stop flaming each other.... or I'll bust out my fire hose...

 

Don't worry, everyone is having fun

 

Ths will go on for ever. Obviously evryone have their own thoights. Telling somoone how "Hella Flush" and "Hella Camber" is retarded, the argument will for ever go on lol...

 

U promise!? Lol

 

Ok so I checked there is a meet tonight Friday at 7 at the kohls in northgate and there is also a photoshoot at Fort Baker tomorrow at 2:30. So up to you guys but I was thinking about showing up tonight anyway. Who is in?

 

So this meet was actually real fun. I saw few good cars and a couple of subies. I dropped the flyers and got a new recruit! Hopefully he will be with us soon at meets and drives!

 

Great job dude! We shall see u maņana at this photo shoot. Anyone else going to this? I think is at 230

 

I run 18x9.5 e38 with 255/40/18r's...my 2006 STI is lowered but I wouldn't call it slammed. I run negative camber in the front and rear with my stock fenders and with coilovers. Bottom line if you want better performance...a lower car is the way to go. It' basic physics and the concept of LCG comes into play. I have this setup for the sake of performance and the setup is a recommended configuration for Auto-X. Will it cause excessive wear on my bearings? Probably, but racing and performance isn't about excessive wear...it's about going faster. Yes...in addition to performance it looks pretty tight and way better than the the stock set up IMHO. How something looks when it come to cars is a very subjective topic and people with negative opinions should think about what they say before they say it. Will what "I" say add value and insight to the discussion? If not, put a lid on it. Also, second hand heresy...for example "So and so at such and such shop said this and that..." is a waste. Garner some experience and test things for yourself then come and bash. LOL

In terms of performance, now that's a very quantitative measurement and by no means subjective. I guarantee I will run circles around a stock set-up. For those considering lowering your car...feel free to reach out to me as I went through many trials and errors to get things just right. If you want, when I show up for the next meet I will even take you for a ride and let you drive if you want.
