    The Penetrator got a little closer to the ground

    Finally put the right 6" springs on in the front so I was able to lower it, I also lowered the rear 3 turns but I need to lower it a couple more. I am just going to have the allignment shop do it when they re-corner balance and allign it. The alignment is WAY off and the drivers side is higher then the passenger side from the last corner balance, they account for my weight and leave the drivers side slightly raised.

    The car and wheels are really really dirty/smudged up so after it gets aligned and all settled I'll do a real photoshoot of it.

    im not gonna lie i was pretty excited to open this thread. i never thought i would see the day where your car and "closer to the ground" would be in the same sentence lol.

    looks good though! those wheels and it being a little bit lower make this car look wayyy better!

    Good.

    As is, the car is stunning. Those are my favorite wheels for the E36 M3.

    Hahaha bane that PS is funny, don't think you guys will ever see it like that The rear could go down maybe but I'm lazy and don't feel like doing it so whatever the alignment shop says is best.
