yes still staples. usually around 9:30 we head to krispy kreme's at the puente hills mall to meet up with the roadster meet. i think many of us will just go directly there since a lot of us will be late.

if you want we can meet up around santa monica sometime if you want to check out the corksport, i dont have steering wheel controls though, from what i heard its just an IR transmitter that controls your headunit like its a remote

Ok! i'll post some pics in this thread as soon as possible. I have a problem with the rears rubbing the black rubber/plastic thing near the rear of the fender. Juni helped me roll the rear fenders but the tire still rubs that black block thing.

That's normal, mine did the same thing at the beginning, plus you are still on your stock suspension and stock camber setting. The rubbing will eventually be gone once you rub that corner piece off, no big deal. Or if you want, you can just cut that corner, but I will leave it alone. Oh, Ray's was the same at the beginning when he first swap the rt-615 onto the works, but I think it should be fine now.

^^boa, those are the set-up you were telling me about?

looks really nice! what tire sizes are you pushing on those? and whats the O.D. of the tire set-up choice?

i hope ur rub issues clears up, as i have similar width/offset but on 17s. only minor-near none rub issue.

anyway, good looking set-up. came out clean.

looks really nice. tire doesn't stretch that much. still needs a little more lowering and negative camber. do you like it?

sammy! what wheels are those on your signature?
btw, can you get BBS,iForged,HRE,DPE,Enkreuz? any of those?
if you can, and can offer some good deals, i have a line of customers
and i'm one of them, i ordered a set of BBS LM-Rs (M3 offset) for my 335, i ended up taking deposit and walk because many people said i can get better deal. and just wondering if you have any deals for me
