Do you want adjustable suspension, coilovers or just replacement springs. You should put the CSL wheels on your car when you sell the 20"s, they are 19x8.5 and 19x9.5, badass wheels and suuuuppppppeeeerrrrrr lite. I think they are about 23lbs each.

H&R Coilovers with BBS RS-GT wheels

Coilovers are the way to go man. I highly recommend them over doing shocks and springs separately. If you're ballin' on a budget and have to go the shock and spring route, then I recommend H&R springs and Koni yellow shocks.

Whatever you do, don't cut your springs! Also, if you are going with lowered aftermarket springs, it is important you buy quality performance shocks too (like Koni). Your stock shocks won't be able to handle the high spring rate of the after-market springs.

Not to be a jerk or anything, but I think getting rid of the 20's is a grand Idea. Not a big fan of HUGE rims on bimmers. Other then that, nice ride, it looks like this one I've seen before ............

I like dubs, I just ordered some for my 5er. Sorry, I am just a pimp I guess.

That is one sweet product. I wish that I had seen that before I bought the damn Eibach springs. Damn it.

I'm getting the cross-drilled brake lines.

Awesome, then you could be like James Bond and make the cars behind you hit the slick and die. That will be so nifty.

well mines on 17s and its that low i recently had to chop the middle silencers out of the exhaust system and replace them with straight pipe because i broke the baffles inside from repeatedly smacking it off the ground.

think i could just squeeze 18s on mine.
