What do you guys think? I can't wait to install the suspension next week sometime. Then after suspension i can finally mount the rims/tires.

Sweet rims!

Tell me how you like those tires, I might be getting the same......

Nice 4x4/ Going off roading?......(that joke can only be used for so much longer :? )

im at the same spot you are at, rims and suspension, except my rims dont have tires, and my suspension isnt here yet :-/

Good luck with the work, im sure it will be worth it!

4x4 mode ownes you all. Acually not, can't wait to get rid of it. I've heard all good things about the tires and can't wait to get out on the road with them. I will let you all know how they are.

I know ES100's kick ass.....hands down. Had them on my 16". ....

Oh wait, nevermind. I thought your tire size was 205-50-15...which I might be looking at. And then I remember you have 16" wheels. 1AM brain fart.......

Anyway, you should dig the upgrades....and those E46 RSM's.

E46 Cabrio RSM's?

Also, the only cons I have about ES100's is they don't last as long as I would like, and they're really noisy at 80+ speeds. So if you do a lot of highway driving, you might get annoyed by them after awhile, although I've learned to ignore it altogether.

You took my wheels!! Nah its funny to think those were mine. Can't wait to see them on the car. Looks great.

Very nice, CDoos. Your going to have the same suspension that my car has.

RK's rock. You'll love 'em. Your car will be an entirely different car, have fun and be safe!

I think they are just plain e46 RSM's. I think they will work nice, i don't want them too stiff. I want to try and keep some of the softness in the stock ride.

Thats the only one complaint i've heard about the es100's. Bad news for me because i do alot of freeway driving right now, going back and forth to school.

Ya that must be kinda weird knowing these were your rims. What is your current wheel situation? DId you end up selling those Hartge ones? I also can't wait to get everything on.

I hope my car is different, when i take corners fas the body roll is rediculious and my tires squeel like crazy.

btw i hope this is what a strut is suppose to look like. If it is i wasn't aware that they worked like that. I'm talking about the bottom part of it not having any mounting hardware or such. it just ends with a nub, no bolts screws or anything.

the fronts are just inserts.

When is everything going on the car? It looks like a sweet setup.
