    Default Before/ After Koni and H&R

    Installed my new suspension last weekend. (Thanks Jeff N for the help) Posting pics for those who are still shopping.

    My setup:
    1990 535
    235 45 17
    Koni H&R
    I.E. Camber plates (fixed)
    3mm Spring pads

    So far really happy with the ride, although I sprained my left ankle so I haven't been able to drive it much. Car is very responsive now, firm but not obnoxious.

    Is there a change in ride height? I can't really tell...

    The pictures don't show the drop well, it is quite a bit lower, Just about perfect for me. I will try to get better/closer pictures.

    The front looks a bit lower to me. Altogether a better stance.

    probably 900ish. Got the plates used.

    It does have a nice stance. Looks much better in person.

    Default Hey Erik..it's looking really good!

    Making me think I should drop my car a tad more!! We need to trade rides again and see how things compare.

    I understand this is an "aggressive, competitive " set-up! The Koni's let you adjust the rate but the springs are the "hardest" on the market!
    Is that the concenous?
