The ride isn't that bad. Little stiffer after the drop, especially when you hit a bump, but it's not that bad. I really like how they look now. front and rear are pretty even now.

Very easy, just use some fishing line to get the original emblems off and then clean the arear real good and then stick the new emblems on. Basic explanation but its pretty straight forward. Goo gone also helps to get rid of the sticky residue when you remove the emblems.

Thanks everyone for your good inputs and compliments. Really appreciated. It's nice to hear good things from you just because I don't want wasting money for bad reviews . I guess I need to change my gold emblems, since most of you said the same thing about it

Yes those are G37 rims/tires.

I don't think I will drop any lower. My wife is saying that the car is not smooth anymore after the drop LOL. She said they feels like her bimmer now.
