that looks awesome but I would scrape that thing everywhere I'd go - that's an inch lower than my car on M7 springs and I scrape it at least once or twice a week

Which ones are those. They look great. I think I am going to stick with H-Sport's though. Your car is PIMP as stated above. Do you ever drive your 3 anymore? Or does it sit in the garage like mine? Did I ever tell you that when I finally started her up a week or so ago, that I have a really bad exhaust side lifter tick? It took about 30 minutes for it to seat. I was getting pissed and then was like, "Sweet."

The word on the street was that the H-Sport's were have pre-mature bushing failure. That was awhile ago and believe that a 2nd gen has resolved that issue.

By looking @ your sig it looks like your front is a tad lower then the back. Did you do this on purpose or is an optical illusion?
