Hello I am now officially an RS.
Well I should say RS owner, lol. After many years watching 3door cosworths blitzing the E30 M3's I always knew I would have to have one.
And here she is:
It is in immaculate condition, and has only covered 70k with FULL service history and wad of invoices that could sink a battleship.
In love with it at the moment.
Looking to put back to totally standard. Bought the gear to do so. Then I can just enjoy driving it for the summer 
Cheers
Rich

Lovely car, personally though i would keep the brakes and wheels as they look fantastic and add to the well needed extra grip and stopping power.
I agree it does look stunning and handles well, but it is bit harsh on the ride due to the tyres and wheel size. Plus under full boost it can produce a tiny bit of rear tyre rub, but the arches are perfect and I am totally against cutting/rolling them. As for the brakes. It stops better than my M5 and that is not exactly bad at stopping.
How much power is it putting out? I ask because the original tyres are quite narrow so if you are going to fit the original wheels you may have traction issues with anything over standard power. If the wheels are rubbing then surely the guy that bought them must have ordered the wrong offset?
Also, if it stops so impressively wht would you want to revert back to standard brakes?

The car is running standard power at the moment. It has just been fully rebuilt to the tune of over 3k. I have T34 turbo and all the bits for stage 3, around 320-340Bhp.
I do agree but I just want the car to ride nice and not be so "crashy" over the bumps and potholes. I have just purchased full new suspension and bushes. Nothing wrong with the current ones, but it should freshen it up. (It worked wonders for my old mk2 golf)
I might see if I can get some similar 17"s to fit over the brakes which will allow a little more side wall (more comfort) and should have more clearance with the correct et.
