He'd have to be a little lower to warrant the use of painter's tape to hold the arches in place lol...

No way to run spacers in the front as it rubs the arch already. I could run maybe a 5mm once I add some camber. I could run around 10mm in the rear if I want though.

Looks awesome homey. You seem to be lower in the front by a hair than me but we are running the same setup.. I have 5mm spacers in the front to clear the Stoptechs. You need to go lower in the rear tho.. If you have control arms pull those suckers in.....run -6 degree negative camber like I am and drop that beotch down...

Also.....you should really throw a body kit on there. Even an aero kit or something.....It still looks high even though its not. . A splitter or something in the front would look really good. I think one day after the BMW is finished....I might go to a different body kit...other than the aero....

We might actually be the same height in the front. My damn PS just went out like 5 minutes ago... Driving with no PS blows. Especially when I am going subsonic.... The car will be down this coming week cause Im getting a CF moonroof panel and aft side windows molded...so I will be able to fix it. Maybe something is stuck in the fan or a connector came loose...

Here's a recent shot of my '06 MCS:

TSW version 1.0 (beta test version, but very similar to their current version) rear springs on stock shocks

TSW version 3.3 (new, straight coil springs) on the front with stock shocks and IE fixed camber plates

17" webspoke wheels with 215/45/17 tires (Kuhmo SPT)
