nah i think you did good with the lowering height, just good for civilized riding. Car looks great. Some reason of all the E46 m3s ive seen that one looks oddly plain...like a rectangle box with wheels. maybe because its dirty it isnt showing any of its lines.

It looks perfect. The front and rear are a nice match in height. Any lower in the rear and you would need to drop the front.

right now it rides like stock, but handles much better than before. haven't really tested it yet because I'm pretty sick today. Feels like passing out now and then. I'll have more on how it compares to the stock later on when I feel better.

thanks for the springs MgnFicnt

haha...that's my friend's ride. 2002 SMGII. pretty sweet. He spent all the money on the coilover and the titanium exhaust. that's why he's still running stock rims.

Yeah, it looks a lot better than before. I also think the ride height is just right. A little lower and I think ride quality will be comprimised. Sweet ride.

thanks guys. just woke up...and feelling better already.

gonna do a little later on today.

edit: went for a little drive. The car feels soo much flatter through each corner while the ride quality is almost the same as before or even less bumpier. also took a few more picture.

The springs were used right? Dont expect them to settle much then.

Looks good btw.

A quality spring should not sage after installation, but maintain it's original coil set behavior with the forces acting upon it.
