Thanks.

M7 Springs, stock shocks. The springs have been great, I definitely recommend them.

Sorry the first one is kind of dark in the wheel gap area, the second one is a bit better...

Here is a picture of the M7 springs doing what they were designed for at the Streets of Willow Springs race track in So Cal this past weekend.

Nice and flat in a tight right hander at speed !!!!!

Thanks

I have just the springs, according to their site it drops the car 1.3" front and rear. Although I would like the fronts to be just a little bit lower, I am happy with the drop, as well as the ride quality. Then again, I did switch out the runflats with new wheels.

I think we should call this the M7 springs & Ro_Ja LT5 thread instead

this morning I installed the M7 springs on my car - 4 hours later it looked much improved and I like the ride as well. Don't think the pic really shows how low the car is though

that's a perfect height for minis, not too low
