H&R Race and Bilstein Sports are by far my favorite combo. This is going to give you a very nice drop and a comfortable ride. I'm sure you're going to love it. | | | 03-30-2010, 09:24 AM | #6 | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2009 Location: Long Beach, SoCal Posts: 373 | Sweet! Bavauto has got some great prices.

For daily driving and the occasional autocross/DDE, you can't go wrong with this setup. You're gonna need to be more careful pulling in and out of driveways. My front bumper and undercarage scrapes and the front two jackpads got ripped off, but once you get used to it, it's not that bad. | | | 03-31-2010, 01:13 AM | #14 | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: asdfasdf Posts: 10,002 | yeah, I'm a little concerned about my street and driveway since they're kind of odd angles, guess I'll have to go slow for the first few days | | | 04-01-2010, 02:28 AM | #15 | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: asdfasdf Posts: 10,002 | today was my last day driving my Subaru got the ti out, and put insurance on her, then I installed my LED taillights and knockoff-ACS ebrake handle, I'll try to get pics Friday when it's light out also got my RSMs in the mail, but no springs, it's odd since I ordered both from Bimmerworld but I guess I'll wait and see what happens, they might have just been shipped separately Last edited by tiFreak; 04-01-2010 at 02:47 AM. | | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
