How did you get no finger gap!!! I have them installed in my car and I have about on finger gap. I think it's time to move to H&R coilovers.

I took the car out with some friends a couple nights ago for some mountain driving. I can definitely say these coilovers are the shit. It handled like a dream I was giving the car absolute hell and i never broke loose once. No body roll and very flat. Best mod I have done to the car hands down

Best buy has them. As well as many photo stores. I use Hoya polarizers. You can buy different sizes to fit your lense

Got me thinking H&R now. I was looking into KW v1. I think after getting my wife her Christmas gift, she won't object to me getting some goodies for the car this spring. Anyone able to compare H&R and KW v1s?

So Santa (wife) came through and I got my H&R coilovers!!! I installed them today and I am pretty siked to get on the road. I went all the way down in the rear and left 2 threads showing in the front. It wasn't that hard of install compared to a previous installs on a E90 and an E88. Looks good. Maybe when I get some time I will post some pics.

Time for spacers! I'm running 12.5mm all the way around, but could do 15mm with a slight rear fender roll.

I was running a 19x8.5 +35 with no spacer and it was flush and looked good. Now on my E92 M3 and it being lowered I am running a 12 mm front spacer and 10 mm rear spacer.

You shouldn't rub. I had some front camber as well but no issues.

I liked them but only had them on the car 2000 miles before I sold the car. I am going this route on my E92 M3 now...

I am running 10mm spacers in the rear but I am running 18x9.5 +30 and 18x8.5 +30 in the front so I might not upgrade the spacers just yet.
