Decided to take a couple of shots of the Iforged Sprints after a lengthy trip to Wheels America. They were pretty beat up! I now have a better tire size to assure nothing like that happens again... 245/35/20 and 285/30/20 Hankooks round it all off as well as a 5mm spacer out back and fenders rolled. Thanks again to Motorcitym3 for making this happen and being an awesome seller. 
(Just couldn't lay these to rest just yet!!!) Also, thanks to John@motorconcepts for supplying the lighting mods. The Mtech V2.1 look great with the Halogen to Xenon retrofit!
Up next... Morristown BMW special OEM Mtech! Although I need help deciding on diffuser color

His tires are in 20" so hopefully the rims are 20" also
To OP, you have sport package or is your ride lowered because it looks nice? I was debating about 19 or 20...after other posters' comments, was going to go with 19 but now seeing how nice the 20" fills up, I'm not sure anymore

Anyway, I am on the OEM sport suspension springs. I changed out the non-sport springs. I love the way it looks with the meatier tires, so IMHO, no need to lower it further as of now. I would definitely choose 20's again! Thanks for the comments... and please keep the feedback coming!

I edited the post to include the rim size after he posted the question.

Is it possible just to swap sports springs without touching the original damper?

I just swapped out the springs and have had no adverse effects. It only lowered my car on average .5" so the drop was not much!

Thanks buddy. Maybe once I get the mtech kit I will have more feedback. I don't know what it is but 350 views and only 6 comments sux! Maybe there is no love for the olivin green metallic??? Lol 
Right now I am indecisive about whether to get the m5tech kit or go oem mtech. Maybe you can help me out.
