Contact Mike at FIGS Engineering and he can hook you up.
They're honest and they know what they're doing.

Yup. Those that know, go FIGS Ohlins all the way. The RRest get suckered into overpaying for inferior hype.


Last word is that they should be ready for shipping in the next week or so. Pics coming soon..


Those on 20"s.. do you have any idea what your ride height below stock is on the F and R?

I wanted my creative department to gather some renderings of the FlowForm FF15 in a few different colors so that I can post this up for you guys. We want to know what you think!

Love seeing wheels on the USB....gives me ideas of what to do on mine. I've been torn the last 6 months on "which wheels" to get, but that looks great.

Thanks guys! I couldn't resist washing her and throwing up a teaser photo as soon as I got her home. I waited almost 3 months on wheels from Vossen and worked closely with Mike Figs through the holiday season trying to help nudge the Ohlins project along. Hoping to get some more complete shots this next week that better show the stance of what she has become. Full on jet fighter mode. You have to see this in person to appreciate it. I can't park her now without someone walking by stopping to just say WOW.

I'll save my thoughts on this system for the write up as I could go on for a while! Let's just say.. again.. those that know.. go FIGS.


Side note: One HUGE piece of advice that I can give is to have your wheels coated in Ceramic Pro 9H. I have the entire car + wheels done in it and it's absolutely amazing, especially with all the brake dust our stock pads make. All you need is a shot with the hose or some rain and the dust basically comes 80% right off.

Me too. But I guess I have too good of taste, because the quote I received for some wheels I'm interested in came back at $9,000! What in wide world of sports is going on? $9K for wheels, $6K for exhaust, $18K for ceramic brake kit. You'd think this is 2036, not 2016. I guess I've been out of the game too long...lol.
