Feeling left out

Feeling left out
I feel left out, I finally found some mp5 forums on the net. So I'll post a couple of pics of my ride, and in a couple of weeks the stereo install will be done and I'll post those pics.
Here is a custom dash kit made out of actual Carbon Fiber. Strong as hell, and matches the interior fairly nice.
And here is a quick pic I took of the side of the car. You can see the drop courtesy of Eibach. 17" rims. Minor rubbing issues, but I think I am going to adjust the camber next week, either that or go with some 205 series tires.
I have a custom fiberglass sub and amp setup being built in the back for my 10W7 jl subs and the 3 amps. I have an entire jl audio/alpine system and it rocks. And I don't have the good amps and subs in the car till the end of the month!

Yeah, the w7's are heavy, 35 pounds for each 10" sub. Including the tub, I am adding close to 100 pounds in the back of the car. Thats why I am going turbo. Nothing crazy, I just want to get close to 200 horse. I have just bought an intake and exhaust which will go on while the stereo is being done also.
As far as EQ goes, I don't believe in them. I've been competing in stereo comps for years and you don't really need an eq for good sound, I am a play it as it was meant to be played. I'll take some pics today of the front components (xr5.25) install. I have incredibly sweet front stage, kinda blows everyone away.

Actually you can't see much of it, but the little crx beside the car is LOADED with stereo gear. Right now all the gear is inside my house, but I'll go as far as to tell you there are two subs, 16 amps, and 16 batteries.

The car looks really good. I like the CF dash kit, and I bet the w7's are gonna pound. Good job!
You might head over to the wheel/tire section of the forum, this sounds like an offset problem.

I am buying wheels this week and I want no rubbing. Are your Enkei's 7" wide w/a 38 offset and are your tires 215/40's right now?
Lastly, how are the Eibach's? Even gaps front and back? Ride compared to stock? Stock shocks? Thanks for your response . . . car looks really good . . . one of the best yet.

Eibach springs are great. Really good ride, definitely an even drop. I went with the prokit, may as well spring for the best...
