Bilstein B6 Damptrnic installed e90 M3 ZCP springs

So I finally had a shop install the Bilstein B6 (HD) damptronic (EDC) struts and shocks I got on my ZCP M3. I also had new strut mounts put on the front, and upper and lower shock mounts in the rear. I decided to reuse the ZCP springs because..... cost, it sounded like maybe it would be fine, and for science. I'm not generally a "stance" person and knew that it would likely raise the height of the car, but no one seemed to know by how much. Turns out a lot, in the front.

Also of note is the previous owner installed Apex wheels 19x10 front and 19x10.5 rear. I put MP4S 255/35 front and 275/35 rear which is a bit stretched, not ideal for this wheel size, and probably makes the appearance of fender gap worse. No spacers or anything like. I had to make a new tire choice quickly so maybe next time a different size and or different wheel size.

Unknown if the struts/shocks will settle at all since the springs are already broke in.
