And this is what i found. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ Ive had this for a couple weeks now and i love it so far. I wasnt crazy about the fender gap so i installed some new springs with a slight drop. Car was already equipped with the muffler delete when i got it. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v371/turbociv/IMGP0307.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v371/turbociv/IMGP0307.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v371/turbociv/IMGP0308.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v371/turbociv/IMGP0308.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v371/turbociv/IMGP0309.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v371/turbociv/IMGP0309.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v371/turbociv/IMGP0305.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v371/turbociv/IMGP0305.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v371/turbociv/IMGP0310.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v371/turbociv/IMGP0310.jpg) apparently i have a bunch of bugs stuck to my front bumper.lol 2002 m5 ---

Im on the fence i might just go coilovers so I can dump this bitch hard. i realy like the springs alot. slightly stiffer ride and the drop is def noticable but not enugh to rub or have issues with speed bumps. Bout 1/2 finger gap up front and like 1finger gap out back. closed the fender gap real nice. ---
