    Devil,
    I went with 245/35/19 because the offset of 35 and width of 8.5" in front made the front wheel come out to the very edge of the fender. The 245/35 tire did rub initially but after some plastic wore off, I didn't have a problem anymore. If you have a sedan, which have less fender clearance than coupes, and plan to go with 8.5" width, get et40 offset front and et25 offset rear. You'll be happy with the fitment.

    I like the way you did your Yakima rack. I have an 09 coupe and am planning to put a rack on it. Most of the racks I've seen all have 48" bars like yours. Can you tell me how much the bars stick out past the tower? If you had any pictures of it, that'd be great. I guess I'm just trying to convince myself that 48" bars will suffice. Thanks!

    I really like the way your sedan looks, very classy.I saw that you had the HFP suspension installed on your sedan,I thought that was a coupe install only.Was that a dealer install,and if so what was the expense.I would be interested to know what was the drop.I have 2011 sedan and like the way it looks on your car.I'd be interested in having that installed on my whip.

    anonymous.bu.ca, they are sprung perfect. They're not too firm or soft. They have a lot of adjustability. If you want to be slammed to the floor you can. Even though they are meant to go over your stock shocks, the most your stock shocks will last is about 25k miles. From what I hear, Koni now has struts/shocks available for our cars. I'd get some Koni's and talk to Ground Control about getting a kit to work with that.

    When I had the Ground Control's on, I didn't know my stock shocks were blown. My tires were wearing incorrectly from the inside. That's why if I'm going to recommend them, get Koni's.

    I saw that you noted having HPF springs on your sedan. I have a 2012 and cannot find any HFP springs anywhere. Any hints? Also, I too live in the valley.

    I mounted the garmin with the suction cup onto the windshield. I placed it on the bottom left corner of the drivers side.

    when you hardwired your garmin, where do you normally place it?
