    Mod Day - Cup Kit and RSM

    Today David and I replaced my rear shock mounts with E46 M3 RSMs after installing H&R Cup Kit. Enjoy.

    New vs. Old

        The only thing I dont like about the cup kit is that the rear is lower, creating a reverse rake.

        I bombed Korea every night.

          16" TSW Hocks, 225/50's I believe. They were on Brian's old car (the red 325).

          What wheels is he putting on the iS?

            Thank you, but I don't think I'm keeping her very much longer.

            Yeah, that's the only downside.

            We just put them on the car to see how it would look. He still has them on his car. I'm sporting bottlecaps.

              You didnt work on the suspension with the factory jack holding up the car did you?

              Looks very nice.

                        some other time young padawan.


                        The cup kit looks good, I actually prefer having a car that is evenly lowered to one jacked up in the back like a busted ass 76 Nova

                              Why bother with the cup kit then?
