*msport winter mode*

chris b. · 12-22-2010, 06:14 PM

removed the h&r sport springs.
installed supremepower front lowering spring perches on stock front springs
rear is stock.
installed style 188 with michelin x-ice 225-45r17 all around
left 15mm spacer in rear

i know, i know. its dirtyyyyy.

last shoot before removing h&r sports.

-while the ride on h&r sports was tolerable, im probably going to leave it this way untill i get my hands on h&r coilovers.

comments / suggestions?

thanks guys!

Nice winter set up.

ibeclueless · 12-22-2010, 07:03 PM

looks good

ChrisMT79 · 12-22-2010, 07:47 PM

I love the color. Seems like this color in a 335 xdrive or I is impossible to find. I was looking for the wife but all I found was 328's.

hipnotic · 12-22-2010, 07:58 PM

Bagelfast · 12-22-2010, 08:45 PM

Whitevdub · 12-22-2010, 10:34 PM

looks real sick..do you know if they make perches for the rear as well or just the front?

chris b. · 12-23-2010, 04:59 AM

Babydragon · 12-23-2010, 06:12 AM

How much did the perches lower the front? And did it make any difference to the ride.

chris b. · 12-23-2010, 08:50 AM

15mm or half inch.
ride is same as stock! love it!

I just ordered the perches, what did you do for install? Did you not include the rubber spacer? Can you let me know what you took off and reinstalled.

Thanks it'll help me out.
