M3 springs on late model...got pics?

[ducatipaso]

if your car has a 6, it should go even lower in the front. My car is an M42.
keep in mind a cabrio is ~400 pounds heavier than a coupe.

it was a general statement
excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me!

Hey man, I was only giving you shit.

We need [sarcasm][/sarcasm] tags.
I am hoping to shove the motor/tranny in today, before I move it from the shop and store it at home.

Seats, carpet, all of that kind of shit will add to the weight, too.

yeah, sarcasm tags are a must on the 'net. it doesn't convey well. :)
we "old guys" tend to read things "as they're read"

personally, I'm stoked with the look of the M3 springs on my car. the handling is great, the ride is great. ask Ian. he got a quick joyride on some twisties. i'm sure my decent tires dont hurt, either. :)

Well, I rolled the thing back in the garage after it had a night out.

1.25" drop front and rear. Carefully measured and all.

Still no motor, but whatever.

sort of, but you should use shorter shocks too

(Bilstien Sports + M3 springs) is a nice combo

if you look at the front wheel I think thats the biggest difference, its so so so much better than a stock spring setup. its how they should of came!

This looks great.

Any inputs/comments about cutting the front M3 springs by 1 or 1/2 coil to make the front lower to eliminate the fender gap when installing on a 318?

Do you guys really cut your springs? Even the ricers know not to do that.
