Not iforged.... just forged as in light weight & strong.

You're leaving the stock brakes but changing the pads? Any thoughts on a new brake system? I know the Z4M's is probably pretty substantial to begin with.

I have some stuff I'm working on two but one of my jack stands busted today (great week for me breaking things).

How is the deconstruction of the G going? All done?
Part of vinyl????
Mine *looked* like they were part of the vinyl.
They are a thin vinyl label heat fused in place, *not* a sticky label.

It took HIGH heat from the hair dryer to release the label.
I'll have a look at yours some day & see if they're similar.

The Z4M's brakes are from the CSL...
so yeah, no need to change them.
- those pads are low dust street pads,
I'll also pick up a set better suited for track use.

I would love to see some pics after you're done with your mods. Loved what you did with your old G and I'm sure your current M will be sick as well!

Ah, maybe you're right. They look like part of the visor to me. I will have to look again.

I can't wait to see it when it's done....well, this round anyway.

I don't think there is a cure. The mod bug starts with the simplest things. I was thinking the same thing but you should see the list I have. I've been saving money since Spetember to just do everything all at once. My heavy duty shopping begans this week!

definitely try out the Re01Rs. I had to go 245 front and 265 rear because of the sizes they offer. But you will be amazed what you can do with the DSC off

Had a look at the Bridgestones, but I'll likely stay with PS2s
Had them on the G & loved them.

The only problem I had with potenza was how much it weight it was about 2 lbs more than stock per tire. Those contis are really light compare to most other tires. Im going to try out the PS2s as well just to compare.

Yup...
My thoughts as well.
PS2 are one of the lightest available.

I think I'm going to try the Advan Sports Ian, I will let you know how it goes. So far everyone who has tried them as had nothing but good things to say. A shame they don't have Advan NEOVA's in 19".

We'll see, I'll probably end up with PS2's no matter what I say.

I was going to go with Yoko's as well
But with US prices... there's very little difference between the two.

Up here it's huge... Michelin is really screwing us.
Almost $1000 difference on my 19s

I dont know about toronto, but if you ask the local shops to price match, they usually do it, saves lots on shipping from tirerack.

btw Im in Rochester, so it's not that far from you..you guys want to meet up sometime? G or M meet or both. :P

Or when I schedule for the GTAindetail for my M in spring.
