Congrats buddy. MUCH better stance for sure! Looking really good. Hopefully you've found that even though the Eibach Prokit drops the car nicely, it doesn't compromise the ride quality.

Very nice Afif, I want to do the same mod on my saloon:) BTW, how much did it cost you TOTAL (inc alignment etc.)?

Also, are u using oem shocks, or have you changed that as well? I am paranoid that my oem shock are poo. What u think?

Shuriken.

The side profile looks much better...it tends to make the alloys look larger as there less gap between the arch and wheel. :cool:

Whats next on the list apart from mirrors? :D

fas - yea ride quality seems unaffected.

stock - i havent got alignment done yet (have to give it a week to settle) but im guessing itll come to somwhere in the £270 region in total.

shuriken - CA :D. I tried teddy he didnt have any, joe wasnt picking up for 2 days [hmm. So i just gave roy a call. Amazing delivery times! Ordered monday got it tuesday!

Mits - I also bought 800.1 phoenix gold amp and some directed components + mtx amp off yagga (michael) who popped down. Hes going to install them this coming week :). Im thinking of getting a front bumper addon but need pics of ones that would look good. The mtech route seems to be to pricy with all the fogs mesh..fitting :(.

I have the same front bumper as yours. Same problem as well, needed an addon but didnt know which one looked good. Went down the Hartge route, and well impressed. Completely changes the front end of the car. And also not many rides with Hartge kit on :D :D
You can buy the addon from Birds.

So it should sound as good as it looks then. Not really into ice, quite happy with my HK...must be my old age :D

Yeh you need a front bumper addon and maybe also the M3 type boot spoiler. It does'nt look too overdone and you can still get away with the standard alloys.

Hey Afif, sorry buddy i was away racing so my office was closed. Plenty of Eibach springs held in stock.

blackbimmer - dude have you got a pic? I really want to have a look. I like kav's hartge one.

mits - haha tbh my stock system is ok but you know how it goes. You cant go wrong if it sounds better :D. Plus its 'transferable' (i doubt i wud be assed to transfer it but it makes the spending the dough seem more reasonable).

estoril - yea went to see one of fas's contacts and he did a great job :).

invisible - i shud have on thursday if all goes well :)

joe - i figured summin was up but had no idea what! No worries though since i still got hold of some :).

They are taken off his car after 2000 miles. Nicely bedded in ;)

I also bought a set of original Hamann springs for the Z4 3.0i for £20, used for less than a month. Nobody wanted them, but now I don't need them :(
