    We aren't really worried about the speedo being off, it is driven to/from events and occasionally around town. Not that big of an issue atm. We are still playing with springs and rates to bring the front down some. I'll get pictures of it tomorrow and post 'em.

      One on the front struts that i got off my z3 was bent. I'm looking into ordering the coil over conversion from bav auto for $700. It's a whole package that includes front struts, front and rear springs and shocks.... Plus the front is fully adjustable (height adjustable) which is great for balancing the car, too....

        I have ds2's on my cay with e30 M 5 lug. I used an 8mm spacer front and rear and am running 225/45-17 front and 235/40-17 in the rear. Im also using the 8.5 in rears. I have plenty of room in the back, but in the front there is only a few mm clearance between the tire and strut. I dont have any of the current set up, but i will soon if you want to see what it looks like.
