Looks good man

I'm jelly of those X5's

Still haven't decided if I like your tails yet. I'm still on the fence about ordering R/C/R/C's

Once they are done and on the car you can be jealous.

I plan to testfit when i swap wheels for winter using my 15mm spacer as a template. i am thinking that is the thickness i wil need when i order adapters.

Euro tails are still my favorite OEM set. i have a set in my garage, but i wanted to try these out to help make my mind up. They have thick gaskets and real good fittment.

Yea I'm thinking about the euro's too. For some reason just a little more clear on the bottom makes a difference to me

Winter mode established.

And I hung an X5 style 63 wheel on the front while I was at it. 15mm adapter should work really well. 42DD GCs for Christmas may be the only thing on my Xmas list this year...

Realized that my rear damper adjustment Allen slot was rusted and stripped out. May be contacting FUBAR to rent his coilover dissection tool soon...

Contacted Koni about dampers being covered under warranty, i doubt it, but will post how it turns out.
