UPDATED PICS!! 135i on ST Coilovers

After all the peer pressure from the forum, I decided to get coilovers! I got the ST Coilovers and had them installed last night. I'm really happy with how they turned out. The front and back are both set to the lowest setting. I don't have a good review yet because they were just installed last night and the road home is a straight shot for 20-30 min haha. But I think the drop is perfect and the ride is pretty smooth. We had to put 5mm spacers in front, and i will probably put 10mm spacers in the back (didn't have them in stock at the time). Special thanks as always to Greg at GT Motoring for hooking me up and Nick for doing the install!

Should've just waited until you got home from work. Looks good though. Possibly thinking about ST coilovers or KW V1/V2.
