Haha, I knew that area looked familiar! Yeah that area is awesome. I miss LA sometimes... I do NOT miss the traffic.
Glad to hear that you no longer have any rubbing issues. I'm considering lowering as well. I have a few projects lined up before I do though. RPI exhaust is on it's way, M5 spoiler arrived today, and hopefully I'll receive my NVD M5 mirrors in a few weeks!

Thanks for the compliment Whoyuwit. The ride is lowered with H&R Sport Springs and stock sport shocks. To me, the ride is much better than stock. I had stock wheels and run flats and it road much harder IMO. Now it ride smoother on Hankook V12s. The Miro 111 really bring out our vehicles. I think they one of the most stunning wheels for the 5 and they are not that expensive. I recommend going for the 20s. 20s fill the car out perfectly and drop on H&R Sports springs. The H&Rs lower the car to the perfect height. I did have to get my fenders rolled and some lining shaved, because I had slight rubbing in the rear. Now I can have 5 people in the car and a trunk full of luggage with no rubbing. Make sure you take it to a well skilled fender roller, if you have rubbing issues. My next move is to get KW V2 Coilovers and then I will be finished with my suspension mods.
