Those seats are sick! How do you like your SSK? I want a kit just dont know which one to get. Thanks

With those awesome seats, will your airbags be fully functional? Do you have to relocate your sensor?

The BMW Performance SSK (you can order a 330d shift lever - same part# as the one that shipps in the Performance ssk kit) is a perfect fit for cars that are street driven. I love the throws and best part is that it's all BMW parts.

The shift lever alone cost $60 so best bang for the buck in my opinion

I had recent events occur regarding my job situation so the seats are now on hold until I have more $$$ saved up in my bank account. As much as it sucks to wait, I think its the right choice at the moment... :/

Looking good Charlie!

cak323i · 02-19-2013, 11:26 PM

Thanks Kris!

Will post pics when I get my wheels mounted

TallSkinnyMatt · 02-20-2013, 02:25 AM

Can't wait till the wheels are on Charlie! They will look amazing!

You've inspired me... probably gonna pick up a set of Arc-8's this summer!

I think you will be very happy with them Matt

The ARC8s I'm getting (18x9.5F/18x10.5R) are in hyperblack so should look more aggressive to what I already have now. Too bad VMR doesn't have their VB3s in 19x10 otherwise I'd be rolling on them instead. Either way the look should be nice

serdar255 · 02-20-2013, 07:02 AM

That's going to look amazing and still really lightweight

cak323i · 02-24-2013, 12:40 PM

Got my new ARC8s mounted w/ wheel studs on Friday. Pics from my cell. When the weather improves I will have proper pics posted

I like having more concave these wheels provide. Another side benefit to going back down to 18s is that the ride quality improved significantly since the tires mounted on them have a bigger sidewall compared to the 19s and the wheels are lighter. It's nice to be able to go between the 18s and 19s depending on my mood...

they look good!

TallSkinnyMatt · 02-24-2013, 01:22 PM

Those look amazing! Much better ride quality now?

98bimmer · 02-24-2013, 01:30 PM

Definitely looks better now!

Thanks everyone for your support and generous complements!

@ Matt, yeah... running on 18s have improved the ride quality big time! I don't feel the road as much as I used to running on my 19's and with these ARC8s the car still has that aggressive stance that I have been looking for. I really love having 18x10.5s in the back with a much more pronounced concave look

I just need to get my rear fenders rolled and add maybe some 10mm spacers to get the rear wheels out just a tad bit more for that flush stance. Then the car will be perfect

Of course I may need to get just enough camber so that I won't be rubbing...nothing crazy though.

serdar255 · 02-24-2013, 02:32 PM

Perfect!

Thanks guys!

@ Chris, I just turned over 150k when I drove up to Manchester, NH to visit a friend. While up there I installed my new wheel studs and mounted my ARC8s.

Manual trans??? That's impressive considering how ridiculously clean your car is.
