its been awhile!! Looks so nice man!
I see what you see though. Stretch tires just don't fit when there's wheel gap.

here's a great comparison.

I loved teh lowered. Still looks absolutely tits though.

What exact color is your car? Henna or ?

Car is beautiful by the way and just noticed the M logo in the grille needs to be raised up one. :)

ohhh crap!!!! your right! the rear logo was EXACTLY measured as I found somewhere on S14, and it is off too...... already pulled it back off. Gonna have to fix the front first thing tomorrow.

The car is electric orange. it's a FORD european Focus ST color.

Did you paint it or buy it that way already done?
Orange is a great color on M3's I always thought. Whats the under hood and interior look like.
Would love to see it.

Car does look a little off with the height raised. Def dependent on the wheel/tire as well.

I can't believe you were never on coils. How did you get it so low? Did you cut a coil? What suspension/spring are you on now?

I always look forward to your threads.. keep the pics coming!

I think OP just wanted to make us all jelly :shifty

Still looks good though, maybe more tire to eliminate the stretch look..

[reelizmpro]

It's not so much the height but the fender gap that makes the tires look too small. There has to be zero fender gap to look perfect with stretched tires. With that said, your car still looks great. I'm digging the color. Why did you raise it up anyway? Tire wear?

gorgeous!

I painted it orange about 7 years ago, have had the car for almost 15 years now though. Here is a pic of it before and a few motor/int. shots:

shortened/compressed coils, with a mix of lowered spring perches, and the shock sits lower in the tube. Now it i on e-bay 60mm dropped springs with e90 hats.

Raised it to get it "road legal". To pass the German safety inspection the suspension needs to have paperwork- old stuff had none. Was planning on leaving it raised due to the last set of rear tires only lasting about 5000km...... but, I am def. going to need to get the rear down a bit.

I like it higher, in my opinion it looks more purposeful, usable. I am raising mine as well but for more oil pan buffer.

[pilotskillse30]

I love it, gives me so much aspirations to get mine done that much sooner. Like always thanks for the canvas
