What sports are u in?.. having said that, before we make any changes to the car, we must understand why the engineers are designing it that way in the first place. For example, the ride height. Some uses fingers to measure the wheel-fender gap and tune for the eyes, with front drop more than the rear, which is very wrong. BMW is a balanced chassis car and the height difference between front and rear do play an important part in the car balance, if u decided to lower the front by X millimeters, make sure the rear is dropping by the same X millimeters as well or else your chassis balance is screwed! Those using coil overs, did you all benchmark your ride height differences between front and rear before replacing the struts?</blockquote>
