That look amazing! What lowering spring did you use and where did you buy it?

Unfortunately, I don't know the offsets. They were custom machined from blanks at the shop.

I've been eyeing those lately since Brabus doesn't offer springs for the 4M...how is the ride quality?

I also like what you've done with your rear diffusor.

Ride quality is very firm. You def feel the road more.

BTW, rear diffusor is stock.

I guess it's just the lighting of your photos...the diffusor looks color matched.

It is color matched. That's how it comes stock.

I'm usually not a fan painted calipers, dropped cars, 20" wheels, or black wheels (though the white exterior helps a lot), but you managed to combine all four of my dislikes into something very very nice!

Tastefully done!

Very, very nice.

I guess ride "comfort" will be compromised, but what the hell!

I guess I never paid any attention to this detail before. I've noticed a few black diffusors but just figured MB put those on darker colored cars and the silver ones on lighter shades. That's a nice a touch.

Thanks everyone. I'm very happy with the results. It's definitely a stiffer ride, but I'm used to it as all my cars have always been lowered. The next step is to black out some of the chrome pieces and badges. I will post more photos when complete.

damn that black wheels/red calipers combo is making me question my choice to get blue paint on the car. white looks downright baller.

great work man.

Yes, stock calipers. I had a body shop remove and paint them for $300.

My thoughts exactly, way to pull that off. I never seen a black wheel (reminds me of police cars tyres) that I liked until now.

Congrats and enjoy with pride
