Oh i can't wait till you put wheels on your car Adrian, but like you i don't like black wheels. The Volk ones looks nice. Works have nice wheels too but i think they only go up to 18s.

I think the Works come in 19's too, because that's what Alan (BLUESLATE) used to have on his car.

Hopefully I'll have some new wheels on the car before you graduate and move out to SoCal, Clement.

Are those 19's? Which wheels are those? Works? I think I might like them for the G in Silver.
Nah, you don't want the S5, they've been having some problems (so I've read). The exhaust sounds glorious, but the car's a serious pig. The RS4 on the other hand is pimp.

Those are the 19's that I posted earlier in a different thread for you. The pic came out super dark (it was so overcast the other day it was crazy). iForged Daytona's, the 3's sitting on the stock sport suspension. Now, if I can get my car to surpass the 3's handling, I'd be SUPER stoked.

Woohoo, just got the email verification that the CO's ship out tomorrow. Sad thing is that they probably won't get installed for another 3 weeks (my friend is going on a trip to Japan)

I had a chance to set the rear swaybar from the weakest to the middle setting. There is a big difference. With the weakest setting, I could feel the car was still prone to understeer. On a scale from 1 (understeer) to 10 (oversteer), I felt the weakest setting was a 4. Now with the middle setting, I'd say its a 5-5.5. Just point the car and go. Neutral now, if not with a bit of oversteer tendency. It feels like a different car and is a lot more fun to drive. My experiences were from taken from slow to moderate speed turns. I haven't taken high speed turns, but caution should definitely be taken when testing the car's limits with middle+ swaybar settings.

EDIT: I definitely agree with others who say that the middle+ settings should NOT be used with stock suspension and tires.

Sweet! I should get mine in a week or two and can't wait to get them installed. I'll probably start out on the middle setting.

If you're still on the stock suspension, I wouldn't go with the middle setting

I agree, go with the first setting if you have stock springs and tires.

Yep, I'm on stock suspension and will put it on the outermost setting as suggested.

Thanks!
