Finally Lowered! PICS [56k Beware]

[saj3n]

Andrew, wana trade? haha. I have always wanted a silver car.

Anways Saj3n the car looks freakin sweet! Too bad PA doesn't give out the black DARE plates anymore (the bastards realized that everyone was just putting them on their cars to look good.) Maybe I'll let you have mine, if indeed my girlfriend and I move to MD.

I'll take your plate ASAP! :-D However.... I have been thinking about taking it back to California and Registering it.... Would aid in skipping the Inspection/Emmissions every year...

The rims are great, the tires are low profile, so ride is a bit more rough, but not too noticeable. It rides extremely well with new suspension!

What style of wheels are those? (Most specifically how are they black)

Also, with the new lowering springs, how does that affect the handling of the car? It almost seems like you would be rubbing the tire against the fender in the slightest turns it's so low? I was looking at that kit today, thats why I'm curious. Keep me informed on your experiences with it!
Thanks, and your car looks absolutely killer, man
Oh, and your PM box is full...

Hey! Sorry for the slow response. The handling seems much better with the springs. However, handling already improved alot with wheel upgrade, wider wheels and such. The wheels do not rub at all. It is low, but not too much lower than stock, at least the rear isn't. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask me. I'll give all the information possible :-D

Not sure, I purchased from a guy who had them on a 535i. I believe the are: 2013.140. They are the Pro-Kit, 1.3" in front, 1.0" for the rear.

are not due to wider wheels, but to the lower, stiffer tire sidewalls. Less roll and compression with these tires than the stock 15s adds more to actual and perceived lateral traction than the wider width.
