what's TWS and what's HIN.

Can't slam too hard in Iowa or you'll get stuck on winters.

And only "good"? Come on guys I worked my *** off for 1 full year w/o buying any expensive mods for this set of wheels. Hehehe

I also like the unslammed look but I do think that it needs a bit of a drop and maybe an eibach will do.

those lowens sure look good but the price just gets unreasonable for a set of wheels for the coupe.

Thanks. Any rich boys selling their cup kit and move on to coilovers? Just kidding. I can't afford a new set right now and also planning on getting an exhaust. Since getting a used exhaust is worse than getting a used suspension, I'll take a fairly decent cup kit anytime.

how much do used suspensions usually cost?? i mean a new set of springs is only gonna set you back about 250..... i dunno if you could save that much getting a used one... or if you would want to get a used one.... much safer getting a new one.... you never know what happen to the used ones.

Hi CarlssonRS

Just wondering, are your 19 MonoVI heavy?

Why not Carlsson rim btw? Since your car are packed with so many Carlsson goodies already...

I'm thinking about a cup kit which ussualy run about 650. Not just the spring that runs about 250.

the rims are heavy... but it didnt slow me down too much in speed.. putting 19s is just live carrying one passenger... the weight change is about that much....

i actually got my rims before i did the kit and exhaust... i wa planning to go with full brabus... the reason i didnt is because the brabus kit is a full bumper and its expensive to paint... and since my car is leased i didnt really wanna do that... also the brabus bumper is not that much of a change.. its just like an add-on...

plus.... MB VI are the best rims ever!!!
