Just thought i'd show you guys what we are working on at the moment....please feel free to move or delete the post if it is inappropriate.

To start off our E92 M3 project, we lowered the car using the RDSport lowering springs. The springs lowered the car by a good amount and the ride characteristics are excellent.

We also installed out first set of wheels, a set of 20" Modulare Forged M6 with centers custom finished in Jerez Black Metallic and a set of Toyo Proxes T1Rs. Wheel/tire specs are:

Front:
20x9 2.5" lip
255/30/20
Rear:
20x11 4" lip
315/25/20
No fender mods

Lastly, we installed a set of painted reflectors we received gratis from our friends at IND. It's nice to know vendors can be friends, and we look forward to supporting them with their Eisenmann product as well

Enjoy the pics!

Looks fantastic. I love the E92 look, especially the rear. I am NOT a fan of the new 3 series back end.
