I like how the rears you can still use stock wheel locks since the spacer is bolted to hub and the rim is bolted to the spacer. Do I just have to loose my wheel locks up front now? : |

I'm not sure but you may be able to order longer wheel lock bolts from ECS...if someone wants to steal your wheels they will steal them regardless if you have wheel locks or not...I don't use any wheel locks |

Your entitled to your opinion. I guess you would hate going to SEMA show then. All you will see is a sea of donked out 'Hondas' |

Anyway, my comment was too generalized and I didn't mean to hate on slammed Hondas either (as I had one myself, back in the day). However, when you look at a vehicle from behind and it looks like this; /__\ , I am personally not a fan. I think there is a fine balance between just right and too far. Not sure exactly where that is, but M3 Guy has his spot on! Although I felt that it looked too low with stock wheels, his current wheel choice brought everything together to perfection. Quote:
I'm struggling with my setup as well. I am currently sitting on H&R 1.2s and sometimes I look at it and it just looks RIGHT, other times I'm thinking that I would like to reduce the gap a little more... maybe I need to go 2" or KW3s and dial it in? Not sure. I'm waiting on the ADVs to show up, then I'll worry about it. Last edited by gixxerboy63; 02-25-2016 at 02:34 PM.. |

Not sure if I will be selling the BBS. They look so perfect on the M, yet I 'just had to have' a set of ADVs! I figure that if I do decide to keep them, I could always swap them back and forth between the D and have a different look for each vehicle ever so often |

It was another beautiful sunny winter day today so JeST and I decided to take the X5M's up to Enthusiasts Details and give them a nice bubble bath...this is imho the best hand car wash in NY for true car enthusiasts...while we waited to have our trucks washed a few E60 M5's showed up along with 2 GTR's

I just remembered I have the H&R 2" drop kit (Springs and rear linkage) if you want it brotha. I know I bad mouthed the shit out of them but when I removed the stock suspension I noticed one of the rear shocks were completely blown.

He's right. Anything above 20mm puts A LOT of excess strain on the wheel bearings. I was going through wheel bearings on my e46 m3 when i had 25 mm's.
