    He rubs cause his car is low and he is running shitty coilovers. I bet he could go up on size if he raised his car a tad and got stiffer springs, but he chooses not to.

      well, i was assuming that he's not willing to give up ride height.

      but whatever.

      we can resume this argument when i get my new wheel setup. it will generate much hate. and i will give no fucks.

        Exactly, he CAN run bigger but he doesn't want to. This isn't even an argument because it's what he wants, not what is right.

            Got some badass heatshields for the two m3s, front/rear/side windows. No more melting my ass off for the win!

              What do you mean heatshields for the windows? Winning what? I'm confused, please explain.

                I don't have a garage, so when it's hot outside the car is boilingly hot inside. Reflective sun shades all around drop the inside temp to be really comfortable.

                Makes getting into the car once it has been in the sun for a few hours super nice, and keeps the interior from getting UV'd to death (dash, seats, headliner, etc).

                Totally overkill but made a huge difference.

                    Yup, just reflective and fits the front, side, and rear windows with no gaps. Heatshield is the brand.

                    Don't know of too many other side/rear shades though I'm sure they do exist.

                    Simple and fairly unglamorous, but really nice to have the extra window sunshades.

                      understandable

                        Gc rear springs bro. Probably stiffer than you in the rear....

                            Just in the rear? So you have those shitty soft JOM springs in the front?

                            I also was not making this a competition. I was simply stating whatever you are running is too soft. Especially if you are preparing to turn in your man card by running 195 on a 9" wheel. ;)

                            Buuttt I'm at 700lb rear spring in the rear, but I also have a sedan which is lighter than a vert.

                                That's what it sounds like, but once reality sets in you're in for a treat.
