          Installed the rear M3 drop springs today.

          With Bilstein sports and both original pads in place, the rear dropped from 24.5" to 23.5".

          Car looks like a tail-dragger right now, feels weird to drive with the front still at stock height.

          Fronts will go in next week. Debating on drop hats.

            I almost wish I did drop hats because of the rear wheel arches on late models. But I'm happy with the way it looks and rides. Don't scrape anything. Perfect for daily driving

                        I have been in Contact with KW North America. One of my Shocks are returning very slowly (Im talking several minutes). They told me that this is common but if I would like to pay shipping back to KWA NA they would refill the shock with nitrogen. Im trying to find out if this is the appropriate response yet.

                        I have also linked this thread, when I mentioned we had thread dedicated to their Ebay store they showed interest. Maybe they will digg around the old stock and see if there are any more springs for our car laying around.

                            1" drop on every corner, but I haven't driven it and the fronts just went in last night. So I expect to see another 1/4" - 1/2" drop over the next month or so.

                                just reading this now, now it's too late, I went with IE stage 3 springs. What are drop hats? I'll probably get one if if drops the car even more, and btw, does anyone knows where I can get a 1/4 inch (thinner) pad for the rear springs?
