Finally got low.
Here is only one pic cause i was excited. Im gonna take more pics later this week when i get my lip back from gettin repainted.
Let me know what u think. 17x7+42 no rubbing. Sportline 1.7" drop.

 

how's your camber?

 

How much did it cost? It looks awesome. Installed, or install it yourself? Hows the ride? Whered you get the springs/struts from?

 

Looks GREAT!

 

looks motha effin clean!

 

details man, im interested in gettin mine lowered

 

nice drop bro...wut series are your tires? 50?

 

Firestone Firehawk FZ50 215/50 ZR17. 17x7 exel ennios +42 offset. Sportline springs from tirerack.com $204.xx including shipping. Installed for $201.93 including tax. Ride feels fine, not rough or anything. Not too much different from stock at all. Barely noticable if noticable at all. Camber is fine. Im getting an alignment in 2 weeks, after everything settles. I guess i can get my camber checked then. Those are all the details i can think of.
Thanks for the comments!

 

man that looks clean...i really like how the 17's look on there...i always thought that the 17's didnt look that well. You actually got my wantin the 17...nice ride homie!

 

almost no fender gap whatsoever, rims not really my style but i have to say they look clean on your ride bro. keep up the good work and congrats..

 

the cool thing is that lowering the car can actually help make the rims look bigger. that's just one benefit. there are many others. looks tight bangin' son!

 

Looks sweet man. It sits nice.

 

ay did you change your shocks too or are they the stock shocks

 

Kept the shocks stock. I will probably get some aftermarket ones later if i can. But Im not worried about that right now.

 

looks good bro!!

17s don't look bad at all!! i'll just probably end up getting 17s now

can't wait to see the jdm lip on that bad boy!!

 

sweet dude

 

just something to keep in mind:

when you keep the stock suspension with lower springs, there is a possible tendency for them to wear out faster. my struts on my beretta wore out at least twice as fast when i put eibachs on it than without em. you need to get some shocks/struts that are built for a bit lower ride, etc. maybe this suspension can handle it better, but just something to keep in mind. my struts were even aftermarket: KYB. still looks good

 

Gettin new struts is definately a concern, but not at this point in time. I have 70k miles on the stock struts, so Im sure i still have a good amount of life outta them , but ya that life is greatly reduced cause of the springs. Do you know of any after market struts that fit the 2.5s?

 

man i just went to a BMW meet with my friend.. my car sits soo damn high i want to lower it now

 

i'm not sure of any for this specific car. i haven't yet done the research on it yet. however, i know Koni and KYB make very good suspesion parts. i think Koni is a bit more expensive, but not sure yet. i would start checking out those websites and what not. they will lead to others and then you can compare, research, etc.

 

nice

 

nice car man nice and clean, im in the process of getting rims for my 98 3.2 but dont know exactly what im gonna need to keep the ride nice an smooth, get at me an let me know what kinda struts an springs your goin with an the ride quality

 

Looks sharp!

Rub much?

 

Only at extremes. If I take a sharp turn really fast, i rub a little in the back. Also if i am reversing and the car is goin down hill on the reverse, If i have someone in the front seat and I turn the wheel too far, it rubs a little. Other than that its not too bad at all.

Thanks for the compliment!
