Thanks EGK2 for the comments...
While I do value your opinion and love the way your previous car looked, I do value my ground clearance (esp up front), survivability of my front end/oil pan and handling characteristics over aesthetic appeal. If there was an option that could give me a fair compromise of safe ride height/handling and giving the front a little less wheel gap, I'd go for it for sure.
Not sure how it was on your M52 stroker but on the M42s the oil pan sits quite low.- Frank

I cannot tell you how much people with lowered cars are easily surprised driving on Jersey highways, esp Rts. 9/287/35/1&9 etc...perfectly smooth, then craters, then dips, then speed bump indentations - even in my FX35 with 20s its quite a surprise.
I've already bottomed out a few times on my E30 setup on these highways. While stretched tires and slammage are the consensus - I'm pretty happy with the way my car looks :)- Frank

The back looks good, but the front end looks so wrong to me with the wheels coming out past the fender opening... It looks like the lobo Fords we get in Denver, though those are a bit worse with about 4 inches sticking out past the fender so they can fit 295/50/15s. A staggered setup would fix that right up!'88 528e /// '88 M5 /// '89 951 /// '98 E430 /// '02 M5
