You should just cop one of my P40SCs and lower your car.
I'll even get the set refinished for you.

interesting.......I've only been in the game a couple of years..
have you been shopping with them that long? impressive Vic....
what do you think of the flow form series? less expensive eh?
I was also considering something non-concave with a lip or something
because I've never had one like that......PP's latest wheel is sexy too, I don't even mind the small amount of rivets...those nice sharp, definitive spokes are nice....
and then there is always the color finish........I have some shade of blue on my mind for some reason....

Well let me know ASAP...because I am headed to HRE now to swap out my Gold Ones for the S101s and can tell them to refinish. Probably going to do a brush tinted clear since I like that finish a lot and I know if I put it up to sell, it will move quickly.

I'll have to pass respectfully, and I'm sure you're right about them moving once they get the BTC treatment
looking forward to seeing the 101's

Save your money in the rear, just use adjustable links--- once you have your ride height set its set. Get the KW sleeves in the front, they have the best spring rates and are going to deliver the best true ride out any of the springs since their rate are better geared for a drop and you can adjust them vs springs which you cant.

Remember in the rear, you are not changing the suspension (you are keeping the same shocks and airmatic system) so the method is the only thing you need and Renntech or any module while allowing you to adjust will yield you the same results. Adjustable links to do the same thing and with the KW's you get the rear adapters (links).

Fantastic as always, except the amount of choices at that place just makes it harder and harder to reach a decision on what finish to do wheels in. Ugh!

really? it's really a lot of fun, not brute fun like the cls, but a zippy, low to the ground fun, I could only imagine driving a centro Pcar......
I'll sell the Pcar to you, where do you live?
