    ps i have a stock e30m3 5 lug swap
    Check tire pressures too. If one side is off even by a few PSi you can get vibrations.

          No spacers. Just the 12mm SBI rotor spacers (goes between the hub and rotor to center the rotor on the e36 M3 caliper)

          I've had the car up to 80, and no shimmy or anything of the sort.

          Still the H&R cupkit. No changes there, it all swapped over.

                          Well. Nobody else here is rude enough to ask. so I WILL! How much did you spend on the 5 lug swap? on the brakes?

                          Hella nice job by the way. You already had some go, and plenty of show. all you were missing was a way to stop!

                          Keep up the good work.

                            Car looks great, I like the wheels. What cars are in the picture behind you? One looks like an Isetta with a racing paint job, the other a csl? Anyways, nice car.

                              His opinion will probably be much different given his highly modified motor.

                              I think M-system II's with black spokes would look titties on that car, its a bummer the offsets are too low.
