Be gts-av

Just installed my black 18x8 BE by Breyton GTS-AV with 225/45R-18 Kumho Ecsta 4X. Did a drive up into the mountains and so far quite happy.

Looks great! How are the nm lowering springs working out? Would you say it handles better or just differently?

The wheels were purchased from TireRack. My fave mod so far is still the exhaust just for the added growl.

Threar, do you find that the loudness comes more from the intake or the exhaust?

You definitely hear more sound from the exhaust than the intake. With the intake, you can hear the turbo bypass valve, but overall engine volume stays the same.

Looks good. The Kuhmos look taller than a normal 225/45. Must be the angle of the photo, the NM springs, or both. You may have just sold me on the NM springs. I hate the way the wheels sit in the wells on the stock setup and considering 225/50, NM springs, or both to fix it.
