No one changed their swaybar and bushes in the front to some stiffer than OEM? Brakes and pads all ready sorted. I also want to lower it some more. Whats the best springs for the m-sport cars with selv-leveling system? And how much should i lower it when i have 20" wheels?

Arne, there is another Scandinavian on the forum who also run an E61 with 20". He's using Eibach springs in the front.

I don't know about the m-sport... How much it is lower than non-sport?? But anyways I'm going with 8.5" * 20" ET15 with 245/30 on front and 9.5" * 20" ET22 (maybe 5mm spacers) 285/25 on the rear. I'm putting on H&R springs to the front which lower the non sport app. 35mm. The rear I'm getting done at the dealership by programming. To my knowledge this set up should be possible without any problems or rubbing issues.

I love that garage... and its contents!!

The mirrors look great. IMHO they totally transfer both the look of the car and the driving experience -- I just love looking in my mirrors now and it makes me smile every time I see my M5 mirrors

The E61 looks mean, but that Cosworth looks seriously purposeful I assume the Escort is quicker, right?
