My upgraded Alpine White E90 w/ eibach springs and spacers

I was about to add a Kerscher front lip until I scraped my car yesterday. I gave up on adding a front lip after that.

I'm still considering getting the blackline tail lights, but not sure if I'll really like them or not.

Anyways, here you go.
I definitely like my car better with the springs and spacers.

Also installed the Hartge pedals. Is it worth 300 bux?
Maybe, maybe not. Definitely looks better.
Does it feel different than the stock pedals? Just a bit.

Which Eibach springs do you have? Is the ride a little firmer or a lot firmer now?

I noticed that too...whats up with that after spending $300 for the set (which I think costs more than the OEM ones).

it's the eibach pro-kit. lowers it 1.25inches. Ride is firmer, but not too firm.
Heard it's not as firm as the H&R springs so I went with the eibachs.
I went with the 12mm front, 15mm rear spacers.

As for the dead pedal, dunno, for some reason Hartge makes only one type for the dead pedals. E90,E60,E49,E39, etc.

They push your wheels out to give your car a more agressive stance...

Wow... gotta hate that big green license plate~
Dunno why it has to be green in Korea....
It's funny that you parked your car right infront of the sign "No Parking"! lol
btw, 320 comes with chrome grille and xenon light in Korea???
Great ride~! Love Alpine White!

Anyohaseyo yujini! Your car has a much more agressive stance than with the standard ZSP setup (my car ). Your lucky your country allows you to have clear headlights unlike the US spec amber trimed headlights. Nice wheels, they match the angular dimensions of the E90 very well. $300 Hartge pedals seems a bit steep for very little improvement of the car, more of a decor than anything. The dead pedal didn't seem out of place until one of the forum members pointed it out, so its not as noticeable as he says.

~Alpine White leads the way~
