Spent all my money tell me what you think? 56kbeware

Well I finally broke down and did some things to my car.

Before:



Then after lowering:



Some pics of other mods and stainless steel brake lines. I also Finally broke down and bought a Valentine 1, and had my windows tinted.



Bistiens, Bavarian Autosport springs, EBC green pads, and Brembo drilled rotors at all 4 corners:



ATE Super Blue Brake fluid, and ss lines:



A cheap ass strut brace, but hey it works:



Pic of the V1:



Pic after all of that and new tires for the stock, wheels:



Finally with my new wheels:

How hard was the SS Brakeline install? I have a set but im a little reluctant to install them. I've heard that if you mess it up you can do some damage to the calipers.

Wasn't Hard at all. I put some lock tight on the threads though because a KC bmw club member put ss lines on his 04 330, with the ZHP pachage and one came lose on him, and the local dealership made him put he factory lines on because they won't cover anything with the brake system while the lines were on. They ended up charging him to reinstall the original lines, when if it never would have leaked he would have gotten away with them.

Bilsteins with the Bavauto springs work pretty well, its a little bouncy, but I am very picky, most wouldn't think it was much at all. It truely rides like my brothers x5 4.4 sport. The strut bar came off of Nopi, I am ashamed to say that but you can't beat the price. I am extatic with the way the car drives now. The next thing im going to do is put a set of large diameter sway bars.

yea I like the strut brace too I almost think it would fit my 735i which would be better than paying $260 for the fake racing dynamics one from electrodyne
