Default Pics from today, clean car, new grille, a couple volcanos, and a little something from England (BWW)

I'm starting to get the hang of the 20D and for a couple of pics today I was very glad to have it.

Mt Rainier and Mt St Helens, Rainier is about 100 miles away

And I got lucky and got a couple of pics of this guy. I heard something angry coming down the road towards me and saw him coming around the bend. I managed to rip off 10 pics none of them really in focus but it was still pretty cool

Default how far up are you?

usually the furthest north I get on weekend drives is Mt St Helens. I'd like to do a run up to Mt Rainier at some point this summer, I've been out here 7 yrs and I've still not made it up there.

Beautiful, Rainier is always hidden when I've been up there.

Default Thanks! I've got BBS SX, 18x8 ET32 all the way around

Spacers on the back are 15mm and on the front are 2mm (to clear the Stoptechs). The Stoptech rotors are thicker than the stock rotors and I've got the ECS stage 1R rear brake setup as well which has a thicker rotor than stock so the rotors add another couple mm of spacer effect. Maybe ET15 on the back and ET25 or so on the front when it's all added up.

The spacing and stance really worked out great once the brakes were upgraded. I'd like it to be a tick lower but I'm happy with the ride and handling with the bilstein/eibach combo so I'm hesitant to drop a chunk of change on coilovers.
