I say get the hood first because not many members on the forum has the hood, stand out from the rest, the the coilovers later you already lowered it like you said. Go with the HOOD or else you will regret.

Then get the coilovers later after your shocks are worn out.

i dunno man a good set of coils changes the characteristics of your car completely
I agree the KWs are great. I had the V2s on my 545 and really liked them.

I would push him to get them if 1) his car is not lowered yet or 2) he's having issues with the height or comfort with his current springs. Since he's already lowered on H&R and it doesn't seem like he's complaining about them, except that he would prefer to be able to lower the car a bit more, I personally don't think he'd get the bang for the buck out of them as he could with the hood. Visually, the hood would be a lot more noticeable and make his car look more aggressive than another 1/4" drop on his ride.

That said, get both James. Once a mod idea gets into your head, you're gonna get it eventually so why wait and suffer.

If only i can get a hold of him, tired numerous ways (pms, all phone has been disconnected) but so far no luck. :thumbsdown: I can't believed somebody would this. i felt like it was stolen from me. i am filing a report with my local authorities by monday and file a small claim with the court for the balance due plus interest.

I will keep his identity anynomous for right now.

Sounds like you're going with the hood, right?

... you're car is already dropped.
