They look sweet!!!

Always park at least 1 ft from curbs!!! I got my first curb rash today (about 3 inches). I was sooo pissed at myself:shakefis: . I hope it never happens again. I feel like punching myself:_punch:

tyler i think they way 26lbs they were pretty light when i put them on
thanks for the edit cali

just so everyone knows i went with bilstein struts with H&R Springs
i thought that would drop it perfectly

should be a nice suspension setup. what size are the tires you have on? hopefully you don't get any rubbing when you drop it.

I was looking into these rims but 17's and decided not to cause of the weight. Haven't seen them on a ti yet just regular e36's but they do look sweet.

Looks good! First car I've seen with Beyerns. I like their styles, but wish they were a lighter. Regardless, your ride will look and feel even better once you've dropped in the new suspension.

i felt the same way the weight was bothering me. im just hoping the suspension wont make the wheels rub

I'm running Toyos TR1s Proxes 235/40/18 all the way around. I rolled the rear fenders a little bit. I have a little bit of rubbing in the front when I take very sharp U turns. No rubbing in the rear. It handles great.

I just got my M3 front lip on. I'm using the stock bumper. Take a look:

Ha! That actually looks good. I've never seen anyone use the M-tech lip on a stock bumper. Nice!

Yeap, I was surprised too the way it came out. I had to do a little modification at the ends but it wasn't a big deal.
