BTW I'm on Eibach Pro Kit with Eibach spacers

that looks absolutely beautiful IMO it really is stunning! but i might have to smaller than 25 and not be flush cuz im kinda tucking as it is.... going flush would DEF scrape the fenders damn tho i had the prokit at one point... if i woulda saw your car earlier i would have just done the spacers

The best thing you could do is grab a ruler and measure what the best fitment is if you're really worried. Yeah eventually I want to get some wheels and a set of the BC coilovers. Gotta save up first.

And no shaking past 100

im dropped on Tein s techs and i put 15mm H&R in the rear i think it looks great -- 20mm just may scrape...and also i highly recommend getting H&R you will not get vibration!

^^ we've got the Xs so I don't think we can use anything other than the Eibach springs or we'll rub.

I got my spacers from here. Add the two sets of 15s and enter LOYALTY as the coupon code and you'll save like 45 bucks on them. Good deal

Wow you're really slammed lol that's some mad camber. If I were in your position I'd:

A. Get a camber kit...NOW lol. You'll definitely need rears, probably fronts too if you don't want to run through tires like crazy. And then get an alignment. BTW did you get an alignment after you installed the coils? Then see what your stance is like afterwards, and finally get spacers after that.

or

B. Raise your car up some. Get an alignment. Then take another picture so we can get a better look at your stance. Then get spacers.

Oh and nice bimmer! My friend has the same one but black =D You love yourself some white cars huh?

lol ohh boy! yes i did get an alignment i didnt severely need one but it was free so =) yahh and ughhh i really love it like this lmao that camber look is my fav!!!! but i completely understand you i guess i could raise it a lil, In your own opinion do you think i could get away with 10mm for the moment? i dont use this as my DD so tires isnt a big issue for me... and THANK YOU! yes that bimmer is my baby! soooooo quick it kinda scares me lol but its my mothers haha i was in the market for one but the lease rate was a lil over the top my credit wasnt immaculate!
