Just springs? Will it ruin the ride etc? Thanks for helping a newbie.

I had KW V2s on my E92 (see below). Still have it since I sold my car if you are interested. Only about 10K miles on it. The ride will get firmer, but not too bad. As you can see below, it was set fairly low. Still a comfortable enough ride that the gf didn't complain. Wheels are for sale also.

If you want to go with just springs, H&R look good and ride very well. Shown here with 20" VS5 wheels:

Sorry Rolo, I don't have enough posts to PM yet.

The wheels are VMR V710s, 19" by 8.5/9.5. I ran 265s in the rear with no roll, no rub. If you roll the fenders you can go to 275s.

Do you have the stock sport suspension? Here is mine with 19" VMR's and just the stock suspension. Rear tires are 275; no rubbing or fender rolling required.

I found the wheels online for $999. What would be your bottom line? Thanks

You are also getting the TPMS which are $200 and a set of tires with decent life left in them. Make me a an offer. I can get a quote for shipping if you give me your ZIP code.
