if not, it's still one of the sexiest 4-doors I've ever seen.

Thanks for all the input guys. Kristeun i love your wheels lol. and DEVO thanks for the link but i was more interested in the car with the wheels rather than just wheels if you know what i mean.:mrgreen:

Do you know if the sport springs would be much higher? also are you running spring pads or anything else that might raise/ lower the car?

H&R race, blistiens, 17x8 superlights.

I think sports are alittle higher and not as high of a spring rate. I do have the spring pads in but was thinking about removing them. I am now on e30-m3 5 lug though.

[Farrington229]

I know they're a tad higher but what i meant was more if it would APPEAR much higher than your car in the pic. (that's the look i'm going for :D )

[e30s52]

I really dont know sence I havent seen any pictures of them.

[Farrington229]

it isn't more than 1/2" higher i believe.

[e30s52]

I really have no clue but if you don't like the hight of it you could take the spring pads out.

[Farrington229]

Very true. thanks alot for your help. if you take out the spring pads does it affect performance at all?

No problem, the only thing is you will here clunking when going over bumps.

[Farrington229]

you will here clunking when going over bumps.

Clunking? like scraping or a thumping sound or like a Metal hitting metal sound? it it really noticeable?

[e30s52]

Yes, metal hitting on metal.

[Farrington229]

Is it really loud and noticeable?

[e30s52]

I dont know. I havent tryed it before.
