Great ride...and good to see the 18" on the car. My M3 also rides on the 18s. IMHO these wheels are sportier than the 19s and go very well in my particular combo. I've decided to change out the springs on my M3 also but have not seen any with 18s lowered. Most of the rides I see lowered have either the 19s or aftermarket. Do you have a pic of the car as leveled as possible and with the front wheels straight? I would like to see the stance of the car. Thanks!

yeah i love the 18s too! I dont have any more pics of the car right now. I took those photos in a hurry. But I will get more pics soon this week, with the front straight and level etc.

Sure, the installation cost is pretty reasonable. $330 including alignment!

Best price in town.

If you have the right equipments and skill to do it, why not? save a couple of hundreds bucks for other mods. Plus it's fun when you practically modding by yourself!

Nice drop, is she hiding in the back seat?

You need to slow down, I only just placed an order for GP Thunders, nevermind springs...
