H&R springs freshly installed and without any driving or "settling".

Will Pwr... damn that looks so clean with the H&R springs. I have an alpine white 535 to. I was gonna wait till I had enough money for rims before i did the drop but your pic just convinced me to do it now! Thanks for the inspiration

The this would be a good option for you, especially if you feel that the ACS or Eibach doesn't lower it enough. My kids are 7 months and 4yrs.

A few quick questions for you.... did you need to do an alignment after lowering it? Do you think there is tow or camber where it its going to mess up the wear on the tires? Also my car is new and still under warranty as I am sure yours is too. Do you think the dealerships are going to give me any issues when I bring it in for service?

I just did H&R springs about 10 days ago and so far great. Waiting for the car to settle a bit but it looks great. Ride is what I expected (have come from multiple M cars) and not bad at all. I drive in Sport mode most of the time and don't feel any bounciness at all...maybe that is what happens in normal or comfort modes. But so far...so good!

However, if you want to go by the book... yes, the ride height has changed and components have been touched, so getting an alignment to correct as much camber or toe is viable. Basically its a personal preference. All of my cars are lowered and depending on the extent of lowering, I either do an alignment right away or eventually get around to it. Dealers typically dont give me any issue, but I am going in for regular service. If I were to have a complaint about something in the suspension or tires, then I would be sure they would give me hassles or hint that they may deny my claim. Though the Magnuson-Moss Act would be in your favor, it doesnt mean that its fool proof in the attitude of the warranty provider. In the end, you should be fine, but you have to be smart about it too. Hope that helps!

Its a noticeable difference in the stance of the car....even more so with after market wheels.

Maybe it's the wheels that make it look lower 20" vs 19"
