Very nice. I should have bought the gunmetal instead of silver for my E46. How much?

When I got my alignment, it came pretty darn close to spec. My drop is only .6" and .7" so the camber wasn't thrown off much at all.

I saw Bats car today and can tell you that the pics dont do it Justice. Powder coat grey looks astoundingly good with DB!
Until today I was sure that I wanted A rear wheel with lip. Now I am not so sure.....

i would prefer a lip especially on these cars which can have outrageous lips but for the price he paid, they definitely look good.

Great looking car. The drops are just right, got that nice rake to it.
How do you like the ride on these springs (Tein S)? Are they stiffer or bouncier than stock?

I Love the Tein. .7" drop in front and .6" in back. It's a nice subtle drop with excellent ride qualities. Freeway bounce is non existent.

Nice car bat...

if you don't mind me asking, where in San Diego did you purchase those tires and get em mounted? was it pricey?

Hopefully I can check out your wheels in person at a meet or something.

I got hooked up at Discount Tire. I'd like to plan a San Diego Meet sometime son, say mid February, during Presidents Day Weekend. I'm in the Mira Mesa area. I've quite a few Z owners here. Alot of them through purchasing my Overlays.

Bat, have you noticed any suspension issues with the drop because someone said that dropping it brings great damage to the suspension.

Remember, the drop is only .6", they were able to align it pretty close if not perfect to specs. I know people who have their rides dropped 1.5" on stock struts! They may have issues down the line. I'm not too worried about it, yet.
