BN Sports IS300

Hey guys I've been a member here forever it seems but I hardly post.  I'm trying to be involved here but I'm on 9 forums so it's kinda tough.  I've had C-West, then Wald, and now BN Sports.  I just sold my AME Circular Spec Ms this past weekend and scooped up some Work Equips.  I know my AMEs are more rare than the Equips but after 4 years its time for a change and I've always loved Equips.  Here's some pics and they're be more soon.

The car is daily driven.  I'm getting off 19s and going to 18s.  Can't wait to get these on this weekend.

I drove out to VR Wheels last week and picked these up.  With all the positive and negative talk about these guys, I decided to do a full write up on these guys and will post that soon.  Hopefully it will shed a little more light on dealing with them.

Lower!!!  :giggity:

Very nice. Car looks great on both sets of wheels.

[QUOTE=actolex;385303]Lower!!!  :giggity:[/QUOTE]

:pat: I can't go any lower.  I'm 2.5" off the ground in the front.  Remember it's still a DD.

[QUOTE=jeebus;385330]Very nice. Car looks great on both sets of wheels.[/QUOTE]

Thanks a lot

Looks good but I agree needs to go lower. Dam kit is too bulky and keeping u from dropping more. lol.

[QUOTE=Smitty;385448]Looks good but I agree needs to go lower. Dam kit is too bulky and keeping u from dropping more. lol.[/QUOTE]

It will go a little lower but only .5" if that.

wheel specs?!

[QUOTE=VJ_400;385591]wheel specs?![/QUOTE]

18x8.5+30 / 10+28

The more I look at the height the more I actually like it.  I don't mind showing some tire so long as there's no gap.  Besides I can't go much lower anyway =)

Turned out Grrrrrrrrrreat!!!

Looking Good. I dig Equips on your ride

Your shizzzz is hot man!!!

Thanks a lot guys.  Now I have to work on some detail stuff, like closing the gap in the rear.  It's not a rush now considering the biggest part of this was getting the wheels before someone else beat me to them =)

I'll be doing more but I want to ease into stuff right now because I'm getting ready to move into a new place next month.  Gotta save funds.

I lowered the rear some more today (.5") which eliminated the rake.  Once I add a 10mm to the rear it will be perfect.

man this car is toooooo clean.

Finally got some decent pics.  I'm dropping the car off to have the hood, front bumper, grill, fenders, and side skirts resprayed.  Then clear bra, and vinyl to follow.  I lowered the car more since the last set of pics.  Might go lower in the front another 1/4" 

Had to take these quick because traffic was coming through so I couldn't get out of the car :rolleyes:.

Just a little update.

Dropped the car off to get resprayed.  Can't wait to get it back.  Does anyone know roughly what a custom clear bra cost?  I'm guessing around $500-600

ah yes. now it looks much better! i just sold my equips a few days ago, im going to miss them but it was time to move up to 18s again.

Damn!!!those equips look sick

btw what tire size are you running up front and back?

[QUOTE=NCIS300;391415]btw what tire size are you running up front and back?[/QUOTE]

215 40 18 all around at the moment.  I need to switch to 205s in the front but will be holding off until I get my TT brakes up front and space the wheels out 10mm.

Wow those things looked so good with your setup.  I'll be VERY interested to see what you switch to.  I've been following your build on .net for a while now.

i see, ill be running 215/35 on a 8.5 and 225/40 on a 10. I hope to have new pics by some time next week of my new set up if everything goes as planned. I just know its going to be a love or hate thing with the new wheels.

i can dig this is3!!!

It's seriously been forever and a minute since I took my own pics.  Here's how she sits now guys.  Still won't daily with the BN front since I just had the front half of the car repainted.  It goes back to the body shop this Friday to get buffed, the clear bra.  Once that's done I can drive with it on again.

Nice!  that is one hell of a stretch for a daily.  And +1 on the body kit being hella bulky.  I had a Origins kit for my s13 and that thing was HUGE.  Couldn't drive the car if I had the tires tucking on it without the bumper sitting on the floor.  -________-.  Only alternative is Air.  But the car looks good!  Nicely done.
