Dared2,

Actually their is a real benefit to running same size front and rear wheels/tires as you can rotate and prolong the life span of the tires. All wheel drive vehicles are harder on tires then traditional 2-wheel dive under normal driving conditions. I drive 2,000k miles a month and this car is a REAL daily driver. So anything I can do get more out of tires the better...

JJ,

Yep lots of hours in the X.... However if you had to spend that kind of time on the road what better to travel then an X5 right......... Thanks for the input, I really love the setup on my X, my wife sometimes questions who I love more, her or my X...... I took the the 5th amendment and I refused to answer that question on the grounds that I may incriminate myself be providing an answer....

RR,

My buddy told me a funny joke on the golf course yesterday. "He said the best way to test if your dog or your wife loves you more. Put both of them in the trunk of your car together for an hour and when you open it watch for who is more excited to see you!

:0)

It's a great look overall. I haven't run into too many Brembo setups on this forum, probably because of the rim clearance requirements. Are those Brembos the real deal??! Must have cost you an arm and a leg! Looks slick with the drilled rotors and the red outer lip.

Big Fish,

You must have purchased them with your Dinan set up? What all do you have for Dinan mods?
