Ouch. That's a long time. When I ordered the said 6 weeks but then it came in 2.

I do know, I'm at 66 cm or 26" all around when in S/S+ and I'm using the KW adjustable ones that came with the kit.

love the old school (dare I say "proper"?) BBS look - would be great to have you post both setups here: https://mbworld.org/forums/w212-amg/...rmation-2.html

I'm also thinking OEMs for an all season-ish daily driver, and a setup for track days.

Forgot about that thread. Will add some pics soon.

Nothing new besides the selection of winter wheels. Inbound from Japan and will make a stop in NC for a bit, then to me.




For now, some attention to the rear.

BBS FS won't be available in time for winter so for now found set of CH-R to run. Fall has been mild so far and winter rubber likely won't be installed for a few more weeks (fingers crossed).

For now, I'll enjoy the warm fall weather and patiently wait for leaves to be in full colors.

Everything looks great. I read the beginning of this thread nothing crazy but all these different sick wheel changes aren't exact tame either. hehe Great job!

Jimminez

Thanks. Yah, nothing special really special about it, like big tune or the like, at least yet. For now it's my family car (actually as of earlier this week the only car in the family) and needs to serve a purpose.
Had to pass on the BBS FS as I wasn't going to get them in time for winter so opted for a set of BBS CH-R. Tires are going on today and will be ready to install when needed which looks like I may have another 2 weeks before I need to.

For now, another pic.

What happens to airmatic when you install a new suspension?

Jimminez

Nothing. Still functions like normal, at least for me since I didn't lower that much. I've read that those who went lower feel that S/S+ to be very stiff.

noodleman

mine is pretty low, i do notice that s+ is way stiffer than before, c is still pretty comfortable. But yes, it functions still the same, in C it rises up about an inch higher for me and S+ drops it all the way down.

Winter prep has begun.

It's only going to get worse before it gets better. Salt is not your friend.

Winter mode fully engaged.

Too funny, totally recognized the name from bimmerpost and audizine over the years, and yet again, we have very similar tastes. Car looks great!

At the rate you're recycling some of my favorite wheels, you may just end up shipping a set to western Canada. Keep the photos coming!
