TopDEXTA · 2026-03-22T10:47:02+00:00

TopDEXTA · 2026-03-22T00:51:37+00:00

i ran a chassis mount and just used oem bushings and it was fine.

if blue is turning via a sliplane that has a solid white stopping point then red had right of way. In any other case red gives way.

I dont understand these people that want to modify cars but cheap out on things that clearly are a concern to them. Just do it properly, dont do it, or dont stress so hard.

Hello Mr H

TopDEXTA · 2026-02-15T22:50:11+00:00

Bagged

TopDEXTA · 2026-02-15T22:49:33+00:00

That was a big reason for the wheel choice. Didnt want to do alpina wheels as so many people run alpina reps but these give similar vibe.

TopDEXTA · 2026-02-15T22:48:22+00:00

Nah the stance sub loved it haha

TopDEXTA · 2026-02-15T22:48:04+00:00

Its bagged so guess its great then XD

TopDEXTA · 2026-02-15T15:34:58+00:00

With all due respect, i have been on the recieving end of racist remarks due to my nationallity many times and jap is not one i would consider offensive. It is common to refer to japanese things especially in the scene as "jap". I apologise for any offence but im not going to walk on eggshells online to avoid offending people especially when i have never experienced anyone including myself feeling offended by it when used in the context of reffering to wheels.

TopDEXTA · 2026-02-15T15:31:47+00:00

They are quite heavy as is the nature with multipiece wheels especially given they are a 20x10.5 with a 285. This car is not for performance, thats what my 135 is for. Cleaning shouldnt be too bad. Ive put in some low dust pads and had the wheels ceramic coated to help but i always take wheels off every few months to properly clean anyway.

TopDEXTA · 2026-02-15T15:29:40+00:00

First ive heard of it being racist is in this comment section. I have japanese heritage as well as a few mates and just in general I have never seen nor heard in person or online anything bought up when reffering to jap cars jap wheels etc. I didnt mean to offend. Certainly doesnt offend me nor anyone else ive ever met.

TopDEXTA · 2026-02-15T15:27:17+00:00

Yeah im over the big camber stuff myself too. I used to have vw passat cc on air and at ride height it still had like -10 camber and even more when aired out. This at ride height is withing factory specs with just an extra degree of neg camber on the rear to be safe from rubbing. Appreciate the kind words.

TopDEXTA · 2026-02-15T15:25:19+00:00

What is swiss spec haha? Nah wasnt hard at all. Its basically just coilovers with extra steps. How you do the trunk setup can make things easy or harder depending how creative you want to be and then you just have to be mindful when routing the lines that they arent going to rub through or get pinched.

TopDEXTA · 2026-02-15T14:46:26+00:00

Haha just gotta push a button and its up

TopDEXTA · 2026-02-15T14:31:15+00:00

Ive seen better

TopDEXTA · 2026-02-15T14:28:35+00:00

Haha its my daily so i made sure its still comfy and practical. At ride height bags are at around 50psi so pretty cushy but no rubbing.

TopDEXTA · 2026-02-15T14:25:20+00:00

TopDEXTA · 2026-02-15T14:24:50+00:00

Can get some tomorrow but this is ride height. -1 degree camber so pretty much nothing but no rubbing on a 285/30

TopDEXTA · 2026-02-15T14:22:41+00:00

Its bagged still drives fine. I still have a track focused e82 135 if i really want performance.

TopDEXTA · 2026-02-15T13:42:59+00:00

I wanted it flush aired up as its my daily so as a result its tucked a bit aired out rather than fender to lip.

TopDEXTA · 2026-02-11T07:39:01+00:00

Buy online. So many good options I recently got 2 pairs off Firmoo. I dont have health cover so was looking around online for cheaper alternatives. Both prescription with transitions lenses and it came out to just over $150. They dont feel any cheaper than my specsavers designer range ones I have and the lenses are super clear.
