H&R cup kit pictures?! Anyone have some?!

Hey guys! I have been looking around a little while now for pictures or the H&R cup kits. Both the touring and sport kits. If anyone has either of these kits please post pictures!! Most of what i have come across is people posting pictures of other cup kits or coilovers. Obviously these are no help, especially because coilovers are adjustable. Basically, i can get a killer deal on H&R cup kits through my job, and i never once adjusted the coilovers on my last 2 cars so im trying to see which cup kit has a more preferable drop for me. My car is a 135i with M sport package(do they all have this? Im new to bmw!). Thanks!

This article from EuroTuner has photos from their install of an (early) H&R Kit on their 135i project car: http://www.eurotuner.com/techarticle...n/viewall.html

In subsequent updates, that said they thought the front was too low (I totally agree) and that H&R provided them with longer front springs: http://www.eurotuner.com/techarticle...e/viewall.html

Supposedly the longer springs are standard on the H&R kit since.

But I've never seen good pictures of their car after the longer front springs were installed.

I saw that, but that is a coilover kit. Not a cup kit. A cup kit is just shocks and springs. No adjustability.

Apologies, I missed that.

I'm sure you've seen this, but here's a few threads/links with pics:

It looks like both of those show a slightly nose-down rake to the setup.
