how do you like your sleeves btw? do you have them set all the way down? how do they compare in ride height say to rd sports?

Leak is pretty evident with fluid on the garage floor. No errors, weird noises, or change in how the car drives though. I have them at about 75% lowered.

Have seen a couple very high mileage M3's however (75,000+ miles) with dampers on their last leg, but not leaking.

I mean it's a given that wear is going to be accelerated, I'm just trying to get a feel for how much. E30's for instance made it like 30 feet with lowering springs hahah
Thanks for the input guys.
