Nice car, looks great! I agree a set of 17's would set it off very nice. You've already modded it now, it'll get addicting I promise lol. I'm curious about the STR's, how does the whole setup feel compared to stock handling/ride wise to you?

ThatGuy, you're right about mods getting addicting, now I think I need a shark injector or cai next to boost the performance a little.
So here's what I can say about the Eibach Pro-Kit and Koni STR.Ts. First time my wife rode in it, she noticed the difference right away. It's not even close to the original suspension smooth ride. I guess to keep her happy I should have gotten the Koni FSD's but I like the feel of the STR.T's. The car definitely feels connected to the road like a sports car should, but I don't really have any good comparisons. The only other cars I have driven the last few years which I can compare are a 2003 Pontiac Grand Am v6 (not a GT) and a 2009 Nissan Sentra, so here's how I would rate them. Smooth Ride ------------- 8 - 323i OE 6 - Grand Am 5 - 323i w/eibach and STR.T 3 - Sentra Noise ------------- 8 - 323i OE 7 - 323i w/eibach and STR.T 6 - Grand Am 4 - Sentra Handling ------------- 9 - 323i w/eibach and STR.T 7 - 323i OE 6 - Grand Am 2 - Sentra |
