These dampers are the ideal choice for the driver looking to restore the original performance and handling of their vehicle, with the added benefit of world-famous Bilstein quality.

  4. Well, that's just it: I would love to read some reviews/testimonials, as well as see some examples of their craftsmanship. . . and ya can't:frown:

     

    They reviews Google provide all stink, the reviews in Baltimore.cityseach all suck. . . all the more reason they should have a site that features what they say they can do, not have the features installed, yet do nothing with 'em. Just a little bit of an internet peeve for me.

     

    I only mention them as an option. I used them years ago w. good results but as with all services YMMV.

  5. I hate that after 20 years in business, they have such an antiquated site. I remember the site from 3 years ago, or so, and nothing has been updated. Everything you click on from the gallery, to testimonials, stall all says "Coming Soon".

     

    While I agree that their site stinks, I'm more concerned about their wheel repair vs. web master skills.

  6. ... i am looking at Megan coil overs. what do you think about them...

     

    Megan Racing is a fake "tuner" brand which sells low quality Chinese manufactured knock off parts. It often looks like better known products but does not hold up. They use lesser quality materials, questionable R&D and have little to no concern for long term performance. Even their name is a play on well known Honda tuner Mugen. I wouldn't install their parts on any car that carries my family.

  7. I'm installing a set of factory Xenon head lights on my 2006 R53. This weekend I had a chance to take care of some maintance items around the car. Since I had the wheels off for swapping out brake pads and installing strut tower reinforcement plates (steel plate inside the wheel well, M7 aluminum on top) and knocked out the studs in the factory hats and replaced w. longer grade 10.9 hardware to lock it all in place... anyway.

     

    Wheels off so I installed the driver side washer bottle & pump for the head lights. Good news was that I got that installed with out having to remove the exterior fender.

     

    Question at hand is what is the best way to wire this into the washer controls? Is there a factory sub harness that I can buy? I do have a wire pigtail/connector for the pump so I can extend that to reach what I need.

     

    Strut plates in place, bottle installed

  8. I have a set of 1st gen BMW front & rear pads w. 75% or better life on them for ~$30, frankly they came w. the car but I found them too dusty for my taste.

     

    Replaced them this weekend with Akebono EUR939 & EUR1060 EURO Ultra-Premium Ceramic front & rear. After 2 days so far no complaints.

     

    I have had the Hawk HPS (high performance street) on my 300zx and 240sx for many years and have no complaints for around town use, autocross or at the Dragon. When at the track the Z gets Hawk HT-10s.

  9. All from 2006 R53

    In Alexandria VA

     

    Front & rear BMW brake pads

    ~75% life on them or better

    $30 / 35 shipped for all of them

     

    Stock 2006 refresh halogen head lights

    3x X-lites or R84s 16" wheels

    these would make a good set for track, beaters or snow tires.

    $50 for all 3 or make me an offer.
