Hey guys I figured I would stop lurking and post some pics of my m3 before I put her into winter mode. I purchased this car about a year ago and spent the first 7 months installing maintenance and basic go fast parts. This past spring I started talking to Thatcher about the DP motorsport wheels he had for sale. There where a couple of sets in 5x120, after test fitting his most aggressive sizes/offsets I decided to stop sitting on the sidelines and start sitting on the ground. 
My plans over the winter are to purchase adjustable rear control arms, vorshlag camber plates, 4'' rear springs and a jack hammer for the speed bump in front of my drive way.
I am looking to drop the front another 1'' and the back 1.5". Sorry in advance for the crappy pictures. She is a work in progress but I love her to death.
The morning after I saved her from the previous owners. Stopped by my buddies wash to clean her up.
As it turned out the owners didnt know that the car had H&R coilovers on it. So i turned them all the way down and threw some 10mm spacers on the front.
Like I said I spent a while doing cooling system and some basic power mods which got me a good little jump in HP for relatively cheap thanks to the forum classifieds. Then I found these and some how they ended up in my bedroom.

I knew that the H&Rs in the current form with the current springs wouldnt give me the the height or the stiffness necessary for the offsets I was trying to run. So I spent some money and the better part of 2 months waiting for these.
Install went fine except for the the bolt I sheared off in the back of the passenger side spindle.
Luckily once I removed the hub I was able to back the rest of the bolt out. This was my initial ride height before rolling the rears.
Stock rear camber adjustment maxed out and fenders rolled as much as I could with out fucking them up ended with this height.
Thatchers current car and my car hanging out.
