  • I Finally Did What Was Right For M3(hella srs-bzns content)














    Incase you haven't noticed, I have raised the car quite a bit. I have played with many setups over the past few months and finally have concluded that my first setup which was a little higher than I am at now was not for me. It was too high and I tucked everything. Then I got kinda low by cranking down my GC coilovers all the way down and getting 5 inch rear springs for H20. I had that cheater GTR lip on which kinda fooled everybody. Well then I ripped that off and decided I really wanted to get low, so I bought GC camber/caster plates and maxed out negative camber and kept the coilovers all the way down. I drove like this for a week of being pissed off partially because I had swine, but also because I couldn't really drive my car. I reminded myself I didn't buy an M3 to drive like I have a Prius. So I went and raised it up, put 12mm spacers on the rear and 5mm on the front. That puts me at 17x9 et 26 front, 17x9.5 et 26 rear. I hope to soon make the front et 21. Long story short, I found that I was more of a poke sort of a guy than a slam sorta guy. I just enjoy driving my car too much, and thanks to Geoff T. for being a big inspiration on balancing stance and track! Enjoy the photos, I am really proud of them because I used a totally different editing technique this time around and I am really happy with the way it came out.

    Looks like you'll fit in over at BF.c again! Lol kidding aside, car still looks good, and since you've still got the coils on, you can lower it again if you ever feel like it.

                  This reminded me of "Ernest Scared Stupid" If you don't know look it up.

                  But I do agree, looks good, but looked better before.

                      I think it looks very good, but I'm gonna share my $0.02

                      "Doing what's right for the M3" is a bit of a one-sided statement. I think you "did whats right for yourself".

                        Notice the lack of "the" in the title. M3=ME

                          For someone who "prefers poke" your front fitment is weak. Do whatcha want, not everyone can handle the slammed lifestyle, ask Halston.
