Car was repainted back in March. It still needs a few things (roof trim and bracket for passenger side of front bumper) but it was looking f-ing amazing this afternoon so I took some pictures. I suggest you have a box of tissues handy.

More to come!

Your right, it does look f-ing amazing!

Looks great! What size are your tires? Looks like the same setup I have on my 2.6L. And is it just me, or are the rear tires on the wrong side? (Doesn't look like the tread is the right direction)

OMFG DUDE! Your right, the rear tires are on the wrong direction! I just went out and checked. The mother f-er that did the bodywork must have put them on that way. Thanks for noticing!

The tires are 225/45/16.

haha, no problem man. I run the exact same size/make tire you do on my 2.6L. I love the tread pattern, I am always staring at it so something seemed off.

Whew, I just rotated the rear tires. Thank you so much for saying something, probably would have been awhile before I realized it.

225/45 is the perfect size for 16" wheels on these cars IMO. Perfect balance between comfort, grip and looks.

I love the tread pattern too. It reminds me of a wicked tribal design or somethin...

225/45/16 is a great size. Looks very purposeful and it is too. Not super low profile, so it rides very well. Plus it delivers great performance still.

My only complaint is that there is a poor selection of tires in that size. But I am REALLY happy with these BFG KDWs.

Looks great, is it on stock springs?

BabyHands · 10-26-2008, 05:41 AM

The springs are H&R race springs. The shocks however are still stock. I have a set of Koni adjustables sitting in the garage. They'll go on one of these days. The rear is a little high, I guess I'd have to tinker with the SLS to get it to sit more even, but I kinnda like the raked forward look.
