i got a awesome deal on some H&R sport springs, and took a better part of my day to install these, couldnt find any good install guides online so im working on a DIY with the pictures i took. 1 side took a couple hours, the 2nd side took about 45 minutes since i knew what to do. overall i can probably knock it out in a few hours, especially with some help, i did this all myself and with no air tools!

rides nice, but it is way lower than i thought it would be. looks good, but i have some rubbing issues, i can probably put a coil spacer between the coils to help out with 1/2 an inch and still be low, so i might do that. other than that going to let it settle for a week before i get an alignment.

excuse the dirty car, i havnt been able to wash it since i was working on it.







also, anyone know if M5 fenders will help with the rubbing? the wheel offset has it pretty flush with the fender, which is where its rubbing. either way i can handle it, i used to have a truck with airbags and layed on its frame, im used to really low. hopefully by next month i will have mtech front and rear bumpers. its next on the to-do list.
