    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.

    Yes, we'll trade cars again. Although your car will make me want a 3.7 that is not in my car budget!
    Drivers School form in the mail today, can't wait.

    Is that the concenous?
    I have been really happy with the ride, still experimenting with the koni settings. I would not consider it harsh at all. Stock was squishy, now it's firm. Keep in mind the roads are pretty good around here, no city driving with this setup yet.
