Anyone got pics of 20"s lowered with springs?

Hey guys...

Im thinking about getting a set of 20" BBS LM-R wheels and dropping the car with some Swift springs. At the begging I thought about getting the KW S/O kit but everyone says that you can't go any lower with a S/O kit than with just regular springs... and it that is the case I would just go with the springs. Full Coilovers are just too expensive for what Im wanting to do.

I was just wondering if anyone here had pics of a E92 M3 using 20" wheels and lower with just springs.

You're getting LM-R's but can't afford Coilovers? ? You're obviously a funny guy. Lol

Just go to the "Aggressive fitment" thread in the wheel section.

HE does state that he has no use for coilovers.

I was conflicted in the same way, I ended up buying a set of eibachs but then fell inlove with the KW sleeve kit. My personal opinion, get a sleeve kit- it's worth it!!

20's on Eibach springs



was a rough ride vs 19's... I can't imagine how teeth rattling it would be with coilovers.

20's are HUGE for these cars. 19" is the max.
