Finally...she's lowered

I don't know why it took so long for me to get the springs installed considering they were the first thing I bought after I bought her. Anyway, here she is, dirty as hell but finally with the springs installed.

BTW, these are H&R Sport springs and it rides very smooth. I do have EDC so I'm glad I went with H&R springs over coilovers.

not yet, my installer said give the springs a week or so to settle since it's still cold. I'll have it aligned next week.

Did you keep the stock shocks? Any problems with them not being replaced, so far?

It's been about 6 or 7 months, no issues with stock shocks and I have EDC.

Not sure, I feel like she's done but I've never built a car this fast before. I bought it in September 2016 and was done by March! Truthfully, I'm gonna keep it the way it is for another year or so and look to probably get into an F10 M5 or F82 M4. My first BMW was an E36 M3 and I've wanted to get back into a coupe for a while so after the F10, likely a coupe...911????

I hear ya! I got a few more things I'd like to do performance wise but already looking ahead for my next project. Most likely M5 F10 or the newer M5's?
