SOCKS, hope your well. Can you pm me some info on your current coilovers setup? I am considering kw V2, kw v3 or your setup but I have no experience as to how yours feel on the street. I assume kw may be a waste for me as I won't track and your setup may just be enough for what I need.. thanks bro

Bro sock doesn't have coilovers. He has Koni yellow shocks/struts and H&R sport springs. if you want coilovers and not going to track kw v1. They are too good and I had them on my e39 540i. Loved them. Don't get anything else v1 is perfect

Cruised up to Sydney with Vince and the girls for NYE. While we were there we were lucky enough to spend some time with DrJ and do some cruising
First of all a BIG thanks to DrJ for showing us around, he is an awesome bloke, just like he is on the forums... will repay the favor when you eventually makes it down to Melb Pics below, including DrJs mint SG 335i (TKO) looks like it just rolled out of the show room.. by far the cleanest E92 in the country.... Thanks also to Vince (Vtl), John, Joe and the girls... not to mention Jerry (spelling??) who tagged along in his white M3 (nice) ... was an epic drive and an epic day

Pic 1 - Overnight stop on route to Sydney
Pic 2 - Car pics
Pic 3 - M3 and M3 wanna be lol
Pic 4 - DrJs Mint E92
Pic 5 - Wildlife induced fog delete
Pic 6 - M3 solo shot
Pic 7 - Before heading off to the Hunter Valley
Pic 8 - Vince picked up a few leaves along the way

Looks like you had a great weekend. If I had have known you were all in the Newcastle area, I could have shot down from Port Macquarie and met up with you somewhere. I spent Boxing Day to New Years Day in Port Macquarie and only got back yesterday.

Also got around to putting together a build vid celebrating the 100 mod milestone... camera work is a bit shaky and I could have picked a better place to film lol...

Vid doesn't list all 100 mods, because I only talk about the current mods on the car and not the numerous mods that have since been removed or replaced... Enjoy
