Let us know what the ride quality is like and if you have any performance issues (vibration)?

so that's 3 of us AWD owners who dropped in the last week.
Eibach
Tein
Tanabe

Should be good comparison thread.

Post pics when can. I will post mine when I get my new wheels, as everyone knows what a GS looks like with stock wheels.

The install should have been easy. My installer said it was easier than dropping a 335xi (for comparison).

When I got my car lowered over 2 years ago my mechanic told me it was similar to lowering a Honda.

don't get me wrong. the springs are obviously not the same as stock. they are stiffer, but no vibrations or anything like that. ride is smooth like a baby still.
the h tech gave it a perfect drop. thanks a lot to the guys who recommended me of the tein h tech.

it looks lower in person. i actually took the pics from the corners, so i just realized that it looks higher a bit because you are seeing the inside of the wheel well from the side. if i took it straight on the side u would see it look lower. i am getting my new wheels when i sell the wheels i have now.

My car looked exactly like that after I lowered as well. Here were my before and after images:

As stated before, the AWD sits approximately .5" higher than the 2WD. The drop is very subtle but noticeable when larger wheels/tires were installed:

Actually, if I were to try and trade-in my car with the stock wheels re-installed, the dealer probably wouldn't even know I had aftermarket lowering springs?
