Yeah, I've got a concrete guy coming to look at my driveway tomorrow. If I can get my curb to a more reasonable break, without breaking the bank I may do it.

just get some Eibachs if you dont want to go to low. I'd say Teins but they're softer than your sport springs and H&R drop it pretty low in the rear.

Suvneer is out of them till mid August... so we'll see when that day rolls around. I think I'd rather do coilovers and leave not do a lip, I love the lines of the AMG bumber...

Yeah they're 18s sb. Told him to toss the Nexen tires that came with them and put the DWS on. He can probably sell the Nexen on craigslist for a good deal since they have about 90% tread left.

I don't know if it's the 18s or the Nexxens, but there is much more road noise! As soon as I can I'll be going back to DWS, dang I love those tires! I do really like the look of the Brabus, and since they are genuine Brabus, I'm not worried about the quality!

Me and you will be talking about your Teins soon ;-) Of course you realize that I'm going to talk you into helping me change them over! Speaking of which, let's get together this week and have some Vietnamese coffee!

It's a great camera, I love my T2i, but I started playing with advanced settings, and I messed something up (getting a lot of grain in the pics) I just need to devote some time to figuring out what I did.

Thanks bro, I'm really happy with them! And yes I'm pretty sure the ISO is the culprit. I've been playing around with different settings, and I think I turned that all the way to 12800 the other day and forgot to bring it back down.

Speaking of cameras, have you guys seen these new cameras that are coming out that allow you to totally re-adjust the focus AFTER you've taken the photo? Very cool technology! It's called Light Field photography, and the big company is Lytro

ah okay yeah i figured but wasn't sure hah. it's definitely the nexens. DWS will help a lot.

and good choice on getting 18s instead of 19s. they can be a disaster as ive come to experience.. time for me to update in a few days too..
good transformation, though.

and what tire sizes are you running? 225f/265r?
