finally got my new wheels
#16
^^^^ Nice! Post some more pics when you can, looks great Mike! What size tires and what size wheels (widths). So you were able to use factroy lugnuts and factory studs, thats great...what are the offsets of these they really to look like a nice fit on the DB9, and I love the fat rear tires!!! well done buddy
Michelin pilot super sports, by the way they ride excellent, same if not better than the stock ride, and of course way more grip!

The offsets are stamped on the inner lip of each wheel, that's where mine are.
#18
I'll look, I have to pull the wheels to install my new brake pads anyway.
#20
Sure does, and fills fills the wheelarch nicely in the rear three quarter view.
Damm, I need some wider wheels!

ordered the springs yesterday! need to find some I trust to install them now, I'm assuming I should do an allignment too? suggestions? Northern CA

^^^ yes anytine you remove dampers, or do suspension work that require pulling suspension components or sub-assemblies out of the car, you'll need an alignment once the suspension or related componentry is re-assembled.
If you have any side profile shots of your car before and after please post them, will be nice to see the difference in height and stance. Feel free to post more pics of your car, it's a great looker!

What Sunir said.
A side note; when you go to get the allignment, you will not be able to get all of the camber out of the rear adjustment. Don't have my numbers in front of me but, it's not far off you just won't be able to get it back to factory spec. No biggie, it's not at all noticeable on mine. Guess long term, insides of tires could wear....
Also, I did the springs myself and it's not difficult at all. I didn't even use my spring compressors to remove the old and install the H&Rs. I did have a lift at the time though.... made it a LOT easier.
If you did not download the factory workshop manuals, having them is a must.
Best of luck.

Mike, post more pics
remember if you are driving to alignment shop after the install, make sure you mark the suspension components and such, i.e. geometrey related parts so that you can get things kinda close to where they need to be to get you safely over to the alignment shop.
Hope this helps
