Mods installed... very happy!

Finally had my Eibach springs, and MS spacers installed last week. Went with 15mm up front and 12mm in the rear. Very comfy set-up. Car feels great and the stance is much improved in my opinion. Had the VRs front lip spolier installed as well. Ordered from IND and paint and fit was great.

Comments welcome. If I can help anyone in their decision just holler.

Wow I really like the look of that exhaust but perhaps too large?

I haven't had a neg comment on my exhaust yet but the tips are 90mm and I believe the stock tips are 82mm or 83mm.. so they are bigger for sure. Makes the rear end look beefier in my opinion. The Gintani race exhaust note gets better every time I drive the car! I couldn't stand the look of the stock cans from the rear of the car. Some guys opted to heave the tips coated blk for a sleeker look.

I love how some simple spacers change the whole look of the car. Love it!

Thanks Jesal! And props to you guys for the great customer service in ordering the springs and spacers! Hope to deal with you again in the future!

Blacklines.. hmm.. I have debated. On the fence. : )

Car looks great. You have a few mods i plan to get when i get my m3. The shocks being one and the cans being another(i am going to go with full). If you are ever in the NYC area please let me know i would love to hear the gintani before i order and there are not to many locally. Thanks and enjoy

Car looks great, but those tips seem way too big and out of proportion with the rest of the car.

I agree.. a VRS rear diff might do the trick.

But overall its a beast

Car is looking great - very clean setup and nice stance. Love the larger tips on the exhaust too. Nice to see another E90 representing!

Car looks great, but agreed on the tips, a diffuser of some sorts would complement it nicely, however.
