    May i ask what springs you are using ? sorry, im a slow typer.

      This is hearsay, kyb's and h&r sports will be fine.

            I see what you did there.

            I just don't see anyone running into problems with a very modest drop and kyb's.

            I don't think H&R would produce the sport series spring if it was just going to bottom out constantly. With a very modest drop you won't run into any problems.

                Either m3 springs or H&R sports. I vote for KYB as well.

                            I hate to tell you this, . . . . but i had a weak moment.

                            I sold the wheels about a month ago to a VW guy in Wisconsin. He wanted them and was willing to pay the price I wanted, and I needed funds for my E36M3. I regret it now, as those were about as much of a unicorn as I could have had, but what happened happened. It's time to move on.
