question, did you ever drive the RE 92s in the snow, how did they do if you did? (somewhat off topic sorry)

225/45/17s on Dunlop M3s - Got wider for extra sidewall protection, but now I would prefer a narrower tire for better ice and snow traction.

Stock wheels as they have a higher negative offset then most other rims so the car stays cleaner.

Big one for me - RSB set to soft to keep the front end of my car.......in front!:icon_wink

Are your rotors on the wrong sides? The slots look they're going the wrong direction.











Here's my winter setup, btw.

The slotting can face forward or backwards depending on the manufacturer (I've seen it boths ways), so that's not really important. What's important is that the internal vanes/vents are facing the right way (for curved vanes/directional rotors).

Just found this;

So, it looks like the ones on mattg's car may indeed be on backwards.

yep, they are. i guess if you want it done right you have to do it yourself. :(

oh well, it's an easy fix.
