Before and After (pic heavy) - E63 conversion/Vossen

Hey Guys,

Back in January I bought a Suvneer kit with the intention of installing right away and making some changes. All along I wanted to make a before and after thread, well 6 months later here it is. I completed a Suvneer e63 conversion and added a few other things to switch up the setup:

Before:
19” DPE St-7’s flat face/gloss stepped lip (275/40/19)
Carlsson Front lip
Lowering links

Before pics:




After:
Suvneer E63/ Suvneer CF front lip/ vinyl wrapped foglight rings
OEM lower mesh
20” Vossen CV3 (295/25/20)
Lowering Links

After pics: (excuse dirty wheels these things are impossible to keep clean this is on 50 miles of driving)

Not yet, 3 of 4 were cracked around the perimeter of outer lip, very suspect almost defective type damage. anyway rebuilding/refinishing, may sell at that point. I'm in the south bay so a local deal would work better. I'll let you know.

The wheels are a huge improvement and the whole car has a very clean look. Good job!

First of all, LOOKS GREAT!

Secondly, pop in some Akebono brake pads, and your dirty wheels will thank you. For people that care about clean wheels, this is really a no brainer. Plus, the pads are super duper easy to change on these cars.

Thanks for the feedback guys! Yeah I've definitely thought about going lower. I may just have to.

Shoot.. I think the ride height is spot on! The fender well gap is gone, but lower than that you start looking like it belongs to a 16 year old
