New Wheels & Coilovers on my 4.8is (Update On Page 2)
Just a teaser for now! Everything will be dialed in and ready for pictures by Sunday. I'll keep updating this thread as I get more pictures.



going on here:


update: coils are on! should come down a little bit more once they settle

What specs are the Rotis? I bet they'll look nice.

Looks good man. Looking forward to seeing it with the new wheels.

Who are the coils made by? How's the ride? Cost? (If you don't mind)

Also, are you interested in selling your old air suspension?

They're BC coils, haven't gotten to drive it yet the cars at my buddies shop in orlando right now. I live in Tampa. They're right around $1100-1200, just depends where you order from.

and Yes I will be selling the air suspension

here's a few more pictures

I'm very picky about what wheels I like on E53's (I tend to only like OE wheels) but I think those will look great bro. Looking forward to seeing her all buttoned up.

I'm also interested to hear how the coils ride compared to the factory air suspension. This may be an option for me in the future

Need to see the wheels with tires on. The color looks good on black, but the styling seems "weak" for the muscular iS

I JUST got the X riding how I wanted on my BC's. Once you get that thing dialed in you won't be able to wipe the smile off your face when you drive it.

Post pics with tires! lol
