I am thinking of doing a CS set up for the wheels, looking at 10 J x 20-inch for the rear and 9 J x 19 inch for the front or something similar to that, any recommendation on the tires for summer day driving, probably won't track it.
Also, any recommendations for break set up? I have very limited knowledge in that area. |

I ordered a CS before but thought I'd have more options for customization with this ZUP and also wasn't extremely digging that two tone leather seats..... |

If you don't track your car, have budget for BBK and still can make changes on your order, get the CCB. |

Are you asking if the Big Brake Kit clears the Vorsteiner wheels? If so, that depends on the size and wheel spec. I know that a few of their 19's don't.
If your asking if you should choose between BBK versus the Vorsteiner wheels, ya, I would do BBK. Also, since you are upgrading your headlights. Would you be interested in selling your current stock headlights?....Or is the plan to upgrade off your existing? |

Any reason why you're choosing to remove MPE and put on Eisenmann?
BTW I have the Thinkware F800 as well. Pretty good quality, but it's just a bit tricky to get the aim right. |

As for Eisenmann vs MPE, I personally think Eisenmann sounds better, but that could just be me. |

Also why V-FF 103? There are better, lighter, stronger wheels that are affordable as well. I see you are already spending a quite a bit on the customizing so even getting a more costly set like BBS FiR or HREs would be worth it. If you still want to stick with VFF consider the 107.

Thanks for the suggestion, will for sure look into the AA midpipe, any sound clips or video for your car? As for rims, it isn't set in stone for V-FF 103, still looking to see what's the best option. David |

20 inch wheels Vs 19 Inch
I have just purchased a M3 Competition, it obviously has the 20 inch wheels!
I find the cars suspension very hard even in the softest setting, has anyone changed these to the 19 inch and noticed a substantial difference? Kind Regards Tim |
