Thanks guys ... got a call from the body shop today as they where spraying the parts so I should have them back the middle of this week. Still no updates from KW on the coilovers ... I should also have my test tire here on Wed (Toyo T1R in 285/25/20) to test fit the size of the rears. If they fit I'll order up the rest of the tires this week.

Also ordering up some TC Kline Camber plates:

Yea Mod bug for me NEVER goes away ... its in my blood. I got the sedan as I tought it looked more proportional where the couple looks really LONG from the side profile to me and the doors look huge.

Yea...my mod bug is going insane. Been a year since I sold the Evo, and the Jeep isn't cutting it. Got my wedding in Feb, new house, new job, etc... so NO money for a new ride to mod.

Keep up the good work

UPDATE 12/14/07

The wheels when test fitting needed a spacer to clear the inside of the wheel well when the suspension is fully extended. However I dont think the car will ever get air born so I dont think it will be an issue. I bought 5mm spacers just to make sure it cleared but I think I found a way to make it work with out the spacer .... but here are a couple of shots with and without ....

Without Spacer:










With Spacer:

Yea .... KW V3 with a set of the camber plates I posted above. They have been on back order ... and its holding up my whole project as I cant do final fitment and camber adjustments until the coilovers are on ... .and I cant install all my aero parts on the car till the wheels are one as they are way too aggressive to have them on with stock wheels (and I dont want to drive around like a bunch of the Honda guys around here that have body kits but no wheels ... to me that has never made sense).

I hope you get the coilovers soon it will be great to see your car once everything is done . The way the wheels look I think you will need to roll the finders in the KW's will have some movement in them and will need clearance . The new BMW 3 series looks great and congrats for a good choice

If you go with camber plates make sure you don't over do it you will get tire wear. I did it my self and had to go for a more conservative set up as the inside of the tire was wearing fast and that puts the cost high when you have to replace them.
Just thought I will pass the info
