Tired of cleaning the brake dust off my wheels every other day so I just installed some Akebono Ultra Premium brake pads. So far so good. Hope they do the trick.

It's all that - and a bag of chips.

Notice also the upstairs extension to an existing second floor room to make a lovely studio for Mrs. Ctrl-Z. And I think Ctrl-Z himself is being very modest because he didn't mention that in addition to designing this fine gagage, he built a major portion of this with his very own hand. And the workmanship is simply first rate.

Awesome work!!!

That is one beauuuuutiful addition. Must have been quite costly being the fact of all the demo and approval from City.

Yikes. Wouldn't Bilstein Sports (identical valving, but shorter shaft) be the right application to pair with Eibach lowering springs?

I run HDs on my car, but with stock springs.

From what I read and what a fellow member did/recommended (gferil), this was the preferred setup. For me, it gave the exact drop and stance that I wanted.

The wife was complaining the stock horn was kind of weak...

The new horns were really loud while the bumper was off.

The Eibach spring is sitting at the wrong position on your Bilstein strut.

Thanks for the observation. How should it be positioned?

Crtl-Z, mate that is one bloody nice addition. Hats off to you mate, very nice. How long did the build take?

I showed my missus to soften the blow for a garage door. ;-)

Very nice garage.

Vibratechnics engine mounts, Rogue Engineering tranny mounts.

I've actually had them for a while now. It's finally in the shop getting them installed along with a CDV delete. Plus new fluids & pads to get her ready for Evo School this weekend! Also learned the original owner never got the valved adjusted at 30K, so doing that as well.

Not sure if the hood vents are for me, but the new nose looks fantastic. The standard ones are the weakest part of the z4/z4m looks. Who is the manufacturer?

After adding air everyday, I found out that I cracked one of my rear wheels.

I just picked up a set of Miro 111's. Hopefully everything will work out well since I opted for some pretty egressive fitments.

Finally updated my rear to facelift and coded the lights properly. Facelift rear lights are hard to come by!
