I love the 535, a good amount of power. I've seen the G-Wagon beast you have and love your setups. I'm sure you get asked this a lot but why did you choose the 535 over the 550/M5?

Thanks for the love & I get asked that all the time, the answer is....the M5 wasn't even released at the time of my purchase and the wait for a 550 was a couple months, dont regret it at all though

No way 22 will work.

He is probably running 35 front and 42 rear

You can go probably 35 rear / 25 front (9")

Really cool to see such a very different mod. Though this setup is certainly not for everyone, the OP represents what modding is all about: individual expression, pushing the envelope and being a trailblazer.

respectfully, i dont care for this setup. way too stanced and did you really put brembo stickers on your oem brakes man? i suppose everyone has their own tastes, i can see this setup on a 10k civic or jetta because those cars already suck, f10 is such a good car... i cannot even begin to comprehend what happened here.

PERFECT POST! Modding is a form of self expression and individuality, whats the point in doing a setup done over and over and over again

don't get me wrong, i am all about modding... To each, their own taste... i suppose...

having said that, it is definitely unique and the work is clean and quality... Just goes strongly against everything i believe this car should be...

I think we should give him a break. I took a closer look, and he seems to be pretty young. Young people tend to do those things.

You took a great car, threw a ton of money at it, and ruined it.

The rear axle looks like it broke in half.

Your parents should have bought you an Impala instead.

@lordmcdonnell

Congrats on the new look. I'm digging the matte look.

I MUST ask... How much have you spent on this JOURNEY!???!? LOL

Also... Be honest... Is it truly coming out of your pocket? Not judging either way... Just curious.

I think most here are wondering the same. It's one thing to 'experiment' when money is not a limited resource for the most part. But most here prob have to directly support their hobby and cannot (or do not want to) frivolously spend this kind of money on outrageous and envelope-pushing mods.

Either way... Nice to see you are enjoying the hobby.
