i honestly hav to agree wit sum of the others ur drop looks perfect now. if anything get sum wind splitters or sumthing simple to make it look lower than it is. Coilovers can get u lower but then u might hav issues with speed bumps raggedy streets, etc. thats my main concern in Bmore [we got sum ruff a$$ streets].

I would stay at that hight. any lower and normal driving will be a bi*$#h. and considering those are sporty wheels the stance is near perfect. keep it as is. and save your $$$$ for areo parts ie. lip, kit, roof spoiler, etc...

And looking low is different from actually being low.

Megan coilovers are the best bang for the buck. If you have some extra cash to spare, Stance, HKS, JIC are good choices. I'd stay away from Tein if you want to go really low.

what type of megans do yoiu have? dont know no much about coilovers but once my cousin got some ksports coilovers on his m3 it just looked sick.

I don't have Megans. I have Universal Air Suspension. When looking for coilovers, you want a coilover that has preload adjustment that is separate from height adjustment. Meaning the shock length can be adjusted too.

i tend to agree, though im a vip guy, that your height with those wheels looks good.

but if you do want to go lower, if you go something like a JIC coilover, you can certainly get lower than that. as chrispy says, make sure yuo get something base height adjustable.

Murfreesboro. I have a buddy that has an M3 that lives up there. Will be making a trip up there in about 2 weeks so you can see how low the HKS's go
if I decide to drive.
