Absolutely not, the 30mm additional track width actually will aid slightly in handling.

Nawaaz, I'm on 12MM H&R spacers all around and H&R springs. I had the spacers on before the springs and it looked good but the springs just made it look that much better. My handling feels the same with no ill effects of the spacers and springs. I haven't even gotten an alignment after installing the springs but the car feels great and the springs actually got rid of my steering vibration at 80MPH which i'm very happy about.

I PM'd John@BMW (owner of m3 in the first pic posted), and he said he had hardly any issues with the 15mm all around and with the lowering springs. I think the standard 18 inch wheels are little more friendly when spacing compared to the upgraded 19 inch wheels though...

Also i was on the same boat with you when i was deciding about springs. However, i think i've decided to go with RD sports because they are a little bit lower than the H&Rs. I've heard from a few M owners that they regret getting the H&R because it was not low enuff for them. I think im going with 15mm spacer all the way around. The 15/12 looks great but i think the rear should come out a bit more. Just me though Ed Lin

I am looking at springs and spacers for my E90 M3 with 19s as well. Which H&R springs are people using? Which RD springs are people using? ML

I've got MS 18F/15R and it looks SICK . You'll be very happy with that set-up if you're looking for a muscular bulldog type stance.

The 15/18mm combo (Bulldog Stance) are my new favorite. Another MY09 just left with the same setup today.

I'm in the process of installing 15mm MS all around and I think it looks great, especially after seeing JohnBMW's ride. BTW, if you are considering RD springs over H&R, be prepared to shell out $$$

I'm sorry man, please don't laugh....But I haven't ordered my E90 M3 yet. Truth is that I'm waiting to order the 2010 MY. I'll place my order soon after the official ordering starts. I've planned all my mods out very carefully. I just can't explain to you in words on how hard it is to wait for the new model, but I think it'll be worth it. I've heard that ordering may start sometime in June or July. The '09 model has been in market for a while, and its time may be up shortly....So therefore I prefer to wait and order the 2010 version.

Actually, I was going for the H&R pkg before, but I've changed my mind and I'm now going with the RD's for sure. The extra .2" may just be worth the couple hundred dollars more, especially after seeing John@BMW's car. His car is perhaps the best looking M3 Sedan I've seen yet....And yes, I think it's better looking than IND's "Red Death" E90 M3. Sometimes, a whole lot of upgrades and more changes doesn't mean you're going to get a better looking vehicle. And I feel John's M3 has that key balance between style and simplicity....And that's exactly what I want. |

Sorry to thread hijack, but how did this guy get yellow lenses? I dig the look. http://www.m3post.com/forums/attachm...1&d=1241927592
Is that just vinyl overlay? |
