I enjoy the way it rides very much. Feels much better than stock; stiffer of course, but that's part of the reason you do this mod, right? Less body roll, etc. Prior to lowering, I drove in S+ all of the time. Now I drive in S 100% of the time....quite rough in S+ now. I have a DLM, so I drive in S mode, and change ride height on the DLM to override stock height settings.

Looks great!
What tires sizes did you go with for the Vorsteiners?

Hmmm. What made you choose those sizes over a 255/30 or even a 265/30 and 295/25 combo?

Honestly, it was because that's what the guy thought to put on. I'm not a tire guy & I don't know too much. Do you think I should change it next time? Thx

If your wheels are 20x9 ET35 and 20x10" ET45, then I'd say a 255/30 or even 265/30 with a 295/25 is the best bet. I say this as this is what I'm considering though having decided yet. I say those sizes based on seeing this set up and liking an less stretched look that fills the wheel wells. If not lowered, having tires that are stretched, even mildly, makes the ride height look higher in my opinion. If you stay at stock height, you want to ensure your tires are more beefy or square, IMO.

But it's your car and if you are happy with it, that is all that matters so please take no offense by what I say or anyone else does.

Oh I understand. I will look into it more & maybe I will do things differently next time. Thanks for your opinion!

No offense taken. I am learning more about car modifications & I'm still really new to this stuff. I would like to learn as much as I can.

Make sure your rolling radius is close to original so it doesn't screw with the electronics
