    Just raise the back a tad bit to make it look as the height is the same both front and back...

    and yeah I love how purists get butt hurt because of someone that they don't know at a public forum LOL!

    you just don't get it, do you?



    Might as well lock this thread, it's going absolutely nowhere.

    Those futuras are amazing. It is going to look nasty.

    however, I think that you will soon fall in love with the handling of the car and will want a more race oriented suspension that still goes pretty low..

    i think the 15mm in the back is spot on. 20 on the front would be good though.

    just my intup, take it or leave it. You'll miss the tire width..

    Usually, the more the dumpy men cry in their cubicles about the ruining of a m3, the better the car will be.



    Based on this thread, this car should be awesome!

    I really don't get what the deal is with everyone having the rear tucked so hard so its lower than the front...it'll be nice with the rear up to match the front and the new wheels.

    Rear isn't sitting lower, just looks that way because no rake. To solve this, he will most likely lower the front even more, so the rear sits higher than the front.

    What coils are those? Fotune Auto? Broadway Suspension?

    Nevermind. It's generic BC Racing built private labeling. Love their 'sales/rebuild' video.

    Great use of the Dependent, Independent clauses.

    I'm taking bets on how many times this guy re-read his post before submitting it to make sure he didn't make any grammar mistakes.

    Anyone?
