      IE3 springs and e90 hats is not an extreme low setup.

      hard to call it low.
      It's certainly lowered, but I would also not really say that car is that low. My car is on full length strut housings with GE coils all the way down and it's still not very low.

      ix Konis are waiting to go on, though :)

        Got pictures of your car?
        I'm going to be on stock length struts on gc till I get shortened shocks.

            Oh man a touring.

            Looks good enough for me.
            I know my ride will be harsh. Pretty much on Bump stops.

              I put proper sized tires on it and now I have even more wheel gap in front. went from 225/45R17 (oversize) to 215/40R17 (stock equivalent size). I was happy with how it was before, but I'm ready for some real lowness now. Not gonna get too crazy with any more stretch or crazy camber. I actually used the subframe riser bushings to try to help correct camber in the rear since I was replacing them anyway.

              I dont find the ride on my car too bad, even with the smaller tires.
