Cars are looking great!
How much of a change did you feel with the ride? Was it drastic? I'm trying to find out if adding springs will pass under the wife sensor. I doubt she'd notice the drop, but she might notice the change in the ride.

H&R springs. Install time 4hours.
Looks way better. I'll update with ride impressions shortly.
*update* ride is a bit softer than stock p30. A bit nicer over the bumps but still hard in the corners.
First one is before, second after.

Opinions on lowering...springs, coilovers, full suspension?
Seems like a bunch of different choices for lowering your c63, I was hoping some of you could chime in because I really want to lower my car, mostly for cosmetic reasons (I'm not taking car to track), but I want to avoid any long term damage (like rubbing or wearing out the shocks too bad). What do you think about the options out there:
1) Springs, not too much of a drop, but improved spring compression rate compared to stock, but does the ride become too harsh (sometimes my car has 4 grown adults)?
2) Coilovers, adjustable ride height but not adjustable compression rate, is there really an advantage ride wise compared to just springs which are cheaper and easier to install (I'm not looking to dump the car but just lower it, although I'm considering upgrading to 19" aftermarket wheels which may be an advantage for coilovers)?
3) Lastly, full suspension like KW V3, much pricier, fully adjustable (maybe overkill for what I want) but the though of adjustable ride and ride height is appealing, I'm must wondering if it is truly worth it.
I look forward to any feedback posted!
