Wheels and stance are killing the that Aero body! I would have your shop adjust your stance a little more to get your coilvers just right! I would come up in the back about 15mm so you have more of a raked look. Also wheels are killing it from the back to spaced out! looks funny!
Other then that looks good just need to do some fine tuning!

I like the look. The only thing I'm not in love with are the 18s. The tires look a bit too meaty for me, but you're still pulling it off rather well.

yeah, for now i'm staying on stock 18s. have two spare sets of wheels which I will sell this summer, probably even sell the stock 18s and tires with them. and I will get a set of either 19s or 20s. Thinking of going with vossens.
I am on eibachs, and the reason for spacers is that the wheels are tucked in so much after a 2 inch drop that spacers were the only way to make the wheels sit flush.
IMO, it looks pretty good with the stock 18s. Did not think it would ever be possible to pull off the look I have.

I put the springs in and put spacers on. I still have to get an alignment which I will get this monday. So I did not get control arms. Also I ended up using the IPL bumper with the sensor holes and bought plugs from home depot and painted them. They look fine and it doesnt bother me. I'm actually considering selling the IPl bumper still
Car is looking really nice. I'm a new x owner and had a few questions on your ride.
How is the ride on the lowered springs?
What is the reason for the spacers if you have stock wheels?
And why the alignment?
Awesome looking pics. Funny how the aero kit makes the 18s look better :P
Also questioning fitment of the spoiler. Looks off on the sides??
Brian^^ Depends on the setup you get. I was on Eibach springs on my coupe and the difference in ride quality was negligible.
Spacers are to space out your wheels so they don't look so tucked after lowering.
It's natural for the car to fall out of alignment after lowering so you'll need to get one after your springs settle.

Exactly what OB G said, ride quality barely changed. I noticed the difference as soon as i was lowered and now I cant notice the change anymore. Feels the same as before. Guess I just got used to it... After a drop, you need to fix your camber so you dont wear out your tires too fast so you need an alignment. Also, spoiler will be fixed once it gets a little warmer outside and my summer starts
