Thanks again. Hey one last comment. How does your do in and around Orlando especially around downtown and heading toward Fields BMW. i know those areas have some rugged roads.

I really don't get over to Orlando too often, but I do drive into Tampa from time to time and the car does just fine. You have to be careful over speed bumps, steep inclines, driveways, etc, but nothing that you wouldn't already watch out for.

My Ride: 535xi wagon

Called ECS Tuning today and put in a request for them to look into why I am riding on what feels like the bump stops. As mentioned above I am using the B8s and H&R sport springs on a 535xi wagon. The rear is lowered by links which I have yet to install. I have fabricated my own from suggestions on this forum, just not sure what the length should be compared to the 7.5 cm stock ones.

Any help so I can right my ride would be appreciated. I would hate to replace the strut/ Spring setup again!
