Oh man my bad haha here's a crude pshop, it was had to find a photo that replicated your angle so the bumper looks funny. But there it is with a modest drop:

kyle e46 · 08-14-2006, 05:36 PM

here a better angle of a m3 bumper.

For those of you still wondering about the suspension, I have a H&R sport kit on my car. While I do like the handling of the car, it does provide a big jolt when I hit bumps and scrape the underbody. It feels that the car rides more on the springs rather than the shocks themselves, which can make for an uncomfortable ride. I am honestly thinking about getting the coilovers as my next purchase. In my opinon, if you want to change the suspension, go all the way.

Since I live in Colorado, the spring kit is going to turn my car into a giant snowplow.

That's my philosophy on suspension also, and if you're wondering as to what coilovers to get, I'd highly recommend KW Variant 1 coilovers. I love mine.

rkhettry23 · 08-15-2006, 10:53 AM

well i'll comment on the H&R coils hopefully this weekend

What are the main differences between H&R and KW? I was looking up KW and saw the price.

I've only had experience with H&R and have only heard of KW since I have joined this forum.

Anyone on this forum that could bring some light between the two?
