I like the white car a little better, that red one would be road kill for the spoiler and under tray in my part of the country. But I'm a substance over style guy, I'd rather have the car a tic higher and not have to worry about hitting the front on curbs.

Have to be careful over lowering trashes the alignment on the TI and the only right way to fix it, is to buy a modified PRO-3 rear suspension beam. It already has a lot of neg camber and lowering makes it worse. The modified rear beams fix that. (Google BMW PRO-3)

how about the front springs for say a E30 325i Cabrio? H&R springs for the E30 325i Cabrio are 1.4" front and .75" rear while H&R springs specifically for 318ti's are 1.4" front and 1.0" rear.

i kinda want the H&R springs for the Cabrio simply because it'll be slightly more raked.
