        Sadly, cut springs at the moment lol. Doing hr sports soon and possibly e90 drop hats depending on how I like it with just the springs. Would you recommend doing the shocks at the same time? Or could I keep the stock ones?

              Car looks good. How is the rust?

              I would recommend doing shocks at the same time. Using just lowering springs is a bad idea. It will wear out the OEM shocks because the shocks will have to compress much more to absorb bumps. The spring is shorter and therefore the shock has to travel more when you hit bumps. That happening all the time means accelerated wear on shocks.

              Only in Mass would you see a clover painted on the driveway.

                Im not even Irish lol it was there before I moved in haha, and thanks il have to look into shocks as well! Also there is minimal rust, just a little bit by the tow hook. None on the battery tray, the only place there is some is around the plug on the drivers floorboard, going to patch it this week.
