how do you like those F1 all-seasons???
I was looking into getting a set of those. They are suposed to be the "perfect tire".

i don't know...i'm not that crazy about them...you'll find that a lot of folks her on NAM rave about what they just bought, but not me....they are ok, but I really think they are pretty rough for most purposes, but they are very responsive...these are high perfomance tires and have good and bad related attributes...i just wanted a high performance tire i could drive in rain and snow....we'll see....

thanks..it is a changing color and is not monochromatic or cute....sometimes i think it's ugly, sick and mean....but it ain't cute...i guess that's why i like it....it challenges your perceptions...it is also very fast

H & R springs The top pic shows the air dam that I trimmed with a razor blade to make it straight across. Easy to do... less scraping at driveways, etc.

Agreed.....that cooper is looking great with the drop
Chuck.W- Your r56 looks great....it's a nice subtle drop. Looks like it should have come that way. I like it.

Thanks.... I too measured it after the install and it was a 1.25 inch drop. The OEM SUV height has to be a DOT thing.

None of the pictures I've taken of the car came out looking the way I wanted, but Mew got a great shot at MOTD.
It's lowered on Cross coilovers with 17x7.5 flat black Rota RBs.
