Nice! What size tires are those? Are your stock control arms ok after the drop?

I thought you were going with the ST coilovers, why the change?

Here is a photo during the day.. I just bought this car last week.. I was hit by a drunk driver and she totaled "Bubba".. my red r56. I actually can't stand these rims, I will be selling them and getting the same setup I had before..

Konig Roller_Smokes 17" & Neova AD08 tires..

If anyone is interested in these Motegi rims let me know! I'm in Dallas.

Those are the wheels/tires I'll be switching to.. w/ the bigger tires I'll close the wheel gap a bit more.

I love showing pictures of my MINI I think I've posted this same picture in many many threads. I'm on ST coilovers and have them turned down for a very mild drop. I'm down about 1" I can go much lower, but I'd scrape everywhere and I'm very happy with my setup.

Looks perfect....the way it should come from the factory.

BTW, how is the ride quality, rougher? smoother? less lean/roll?

Taken yesterday in Utah on our way to MITM. Still on the H&R Street Performance coilovers. Ride is fantastic...everyone who rides in my car is surprised how good it feels, expecting the ride to be harsh and unpleasant.

4 inches, serious? I didn't think these cars even had 4 inches to play with. If I dropped mine 4 inches, the tires would be buried in the wheel wells. Any pics by chance? I'm curious.
