    You guys gotta remember when he lowers it, if he does. Some of the poke will go away.

      ^And will probably all be cambered out.
      I'm surprised 10's fit that well with that tire.
      Any way to get it to tuck more, offset-wise?

            thanks for all the comments guys...

            I think the car needs a little more lowering myself, i will be rolling the rears today and see how far i can pull before the paint gets damaged, then i will be taking out the rear spring pads to see how it looks.

            I don't want it to have the bagged look...

            As far as the chunky rear tires, i thought the same the first day, but there really growing on me...

            We'll see how it goes, I also have a really nice set of 17" SSR Reverse Mesh's that need a strip and powdercoat, that might replace these :)

              Car is looking great man, your from bcbimmers too :) I was looking on the suspension tecniques site, and it says that those springs are a 55/35 drop... either way, how do you like them ? I need something new for my cabby

                Btw, taking out the rear pads will definately help. I got close to a 1/2 inch by taking my rears out. Give it a day or two to settle in though!

                  suspension has been in the car for about a year, so i don't think its gonna settle anymore :)

                  springs are awesome, i looked everywhere for a nice drop for a cabby with comfort and this was the only set around, these are the same as the KW springs (the box was shipped via KW), i assume ST makes KW's springs for them.

                  looks like i might remove the rear spring pads and e90 drop hats in the front...

                    yeah not a fan of huge rear camber myself.

                    i'm running the 15mm FK adapters so there is no real way of getting it pushed in anymore, eitherway the rim is about 1/4" away from the trailing arm in the back, so even if i had redrilled faces i would be hitting the trailing arm

                      It looks wicked but get rid of the rims they don't suit the car.

                              Yeah they really look like the best option out there, spring wise, for a cabby. No reverse rake, good height and not too stiff as you`ve said. I`m definately gonna order some. And I was meaning to let it settle again after you take the pads out ;)

                                Seriously. The plastic bumpered ones look great, although...early body very with euro bumps, I could see myself rocking one.
