I really believe that some sway bars would top this off while new shocks, at least for now, are not necessary. Will i get them when available, more than likely but I wont be rushing out now because I honestly dont have an immediate need...i truly think this car handles as it should have from the factory.

As far as ride comfort, the ride is stiffer, no question there. I really didnt mind the way the car handled before and rode, but I always felt "floaty" and like the car was going to tip-over when corner hard at speed....not any more, much more planted all the way around.

I wish I had more pics but because these came out like shit, but I will take more tomorrow, at least you xdrive guys can have some insight now into how much of a difference and upgrade this was, while seeing for yourself what the drop looks like. Btw, Turner Motorsport did the work and the damage was just under 1k for everything: H&R sport springs, 2 sets of H&R 13mm spacers, and labor.
Nice!
What suspension do you have? Standard?
