    Default LED Question

    How did you mount the LED's in your low beams? I placed a pair within my high beams... just curious...

    Oh god damn!!!! Tell me as well!

    I'm also looking to put LEDs shining very lightly on my license plate. Someone else here has done it, but I know they have a euro spec E34 w LED globes in the lights and in the rear...
    Mine is US...

    About the lowering, how much of a difference is the rear drop compared to the front drop? What if I only lowered the front, what would be any and all implications from that? Everyone pitch in lol I'm curious...

    I have a question, did you replace the shocks when you switched to lowering springs?

    If you lower just the front your car will explode. But no, seriously you need to have matching spring rates at all four corners.

    Looks awesome Jasen!

    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...

    In my experience, Eibach Pro-Kit Springs lowered my ride a moderate amount
    (1.3" R and 1.0" F) with no tire rubbing and it very rarely bottoms out.

    I actually replaced the shocks a couple months ago, front shocks I went with KYB. The rear are still stock, but replacing soon.

    I agree, no bottoming out yet! And no tire rubbing. Plus looks and handles much better. I did notice a difference though, stepping outside the vehicle I do feel the difference in vehicle height... And seeing as I'm getting Old, my knees quiver a bit more when exiting the vehicle.
