Absolutely lovely - don't lower it. It's set up for the perfect blend between handling and wafty-comfort. Don't spoil it, the guys who designed it know best tongue out

Cheers guys. Still liking the autobox for now, and it's been a full week and a half!

Maybe not as low as the photoshop, but i think the front does look a tad high! No one else think that?

It's odd the way they are a little too high at the front, my E46 is the same, fine at the back, tad high at the front. I would just get some lowering springs and new dampers, just a 35mm drop would be perfect.

My e36's and e46 looked the same, even with a heavy 6cyl diesel. Always assumed the suspension was shot!

Not true.

Every car I've had has been better with a change of springs, from my first Focus 10 years ago where I changed the Zetec springs, through Z4, 2x E46, 1 series etc with 'M-Sport' suspension. Eibach kits transport the handling whilst seemingly making it smoother. Lowered, better stance being a bonus.

I'd suggest (in my opinion) the guys at Eibach (as an example, other suspension manufacturers exist) who specialise in suspension know best.

I agree, when it comes to quality Eibach and H&R are the only two I would consider, cars I've been in ride very well indeed.

Looks absolutely stunning except that HID kit, they always look really bad when you have reflector lenses. I'd take it out until you can pick up a set of OEM projectors off Ebay or something.

Best colour ever, mind!

Nice but OE style font would look better.
