Haha do it! The spikes are just expensive as hell.

Every other spike just has a very aggressive and mean look where as every spike in my opinion is over done all just opinion

Check out various bimmer forums, stance works, vwvortex, stance nation, etc. I got mine from a guy on stanceworks. But there are TONS on the vwvortex and bmw forum classifieds.

Chris there are a bunch of sites to get rare exotic rims off of, I was looking at VS-XX GT-U and the most rare of all DP motorsports amp before I decided on RSs.

My best advice to you is find what fits your car scheme do a LOT of hunting on stanceworks and just literally post ***** out stancenation canibeat etc etc and once you find it post that your looking for a set. My bud actually found me these and saved me on adapters! I'll see if I can't find one of the better discontinued rim sites but keep in mind if your buying good rims don't be deterred if they aren't 5x100 there is nothing wrong with adapters

Don't forget to check junkyards, I found some Style 5s(no center caps though) and dude was asking a bill for the set.

Def like the wheel tuck for the rear, just gotta get the front to match.

love the car but not a fan of the wheels, imo.

THERE HE IS! Drop, the rear is much much wider than the front with a wider stretch I am going to be getting a bit more camber and potentially small small spacers but I'll never tuck rim unfortunately since the height from hub to fender is different front/rear. Overall I poke at ride height and tuck when aired out I'm going to play with it my end goal is to get the front fenders to pretty much sit directly above the rim when aired out and get the rear cambered a bit more with spacers so that it's back to just straight balla stance

I'm trying to get it lower today, going in to cut out bump stops for the front to try and get the front lip touching, I'll update my build thread someday

Wait... Guys on bags have to work to get low too? Weeeeeeird.

ihavenosn

Looks great man, can't wait to see it when you get it refinished!

Yes they do, funny huh. I like the idea of airride, but haven't seen one for the tC that gets you scraping the ground, that'll take some work with current kits. I'm liking where this is going though.

Dwalkertc

No there are no bolt on kits that lay unibody unfortunately... I have had to cut out bump stops and body where the control arms were being bent. A lot of the big modifications are in the fender pulling so far so it's close enough that it looks like the rim is touching still... I think I can get probably another 1/8 of an inch lower if I get the fitment of the rims right and that will pretty much put me at my lowest for now, however as is my pinch rails are fairly close to the ground and my exhaust does touch...

I have to lift the car twice a month and repaint the undercarriage to help prevent rust

So yea it's probably more work to get insanely low on air than it is static... if you want it to look amazing and keep getting lower.

Just a teaser for my world crush feature I'll include the rest later
