You're going to run out of travel soon, not that that would be horrible.

Love the sunroof. Learn how to post pictures for real and not attachments! I'm sick of having to log in to see your pictures! Haha

Preemptively cut new springs for Emma and put them on my pop's car. (he ordered lowering springs so we cut some stockies and threw them on his coche fer fun)
I am going to wait until I get new wheels to mess with my ride height to really dial down some bomb ass fitment.

It sits about perfectly.

Also my gold 15x7s are for sale with tires!!! Hit me up if u are interested!

[Wyatt Lay]

Goddamn this is a beast e28!

Question, what did you use to heat your springs?

Looks pretty clean bro, paint those wheels white & leave the lip chrome, it'll look incrediblely dope in my opinion, nice to see another bimmer here!

Btw that is the exact paint scheme I was planning! Will look nasty!!! Haha and thanks for the compliment pal.

A Goddamn torch!!! Haha what else do u use when fucking up a spring? Ha take it from someone whose done it, don't heat ya springs!! I didn't really know what I was doing when I heated them and I just wanted that wheel gap gone so yea. I only collapsed like 1 coil so it still rode nice, even though it was all bent and janky looking.

I have heard of people heating the spring all the way around the coil evenly so it doesn't bend, but I dunno, just cut. Grinder=best friend.

Small Update...

Test fitted the 17x8 style 5s. They have 235/45/17 tires mounted on them, which suprisingly will work once I roll/cut the fenders.

Doesnt hit the fender up front, but hits the IS valence when turned, so ill have to push the valence forward a bit.

The tire hits the rear fender bad. Will have to cut...

I am very stoked on how they look, the springs arent even seated in the picture so it will drop even more. I also only mounted them on on side, just wated to see how they would look and if they would even work with the current tires. THEY WILL!!

Also will be getting new springs soon. I want to really dial the ride hieght. I am happy with where its at but my springs are old and shitty. It would be nice to really measure out the cuts. I think I need some rake...
