    e34 lowering spring pictures...Please Post!

    I'm sure there are many of us newcomers and other people on this forum who are researching which lowering spring to install in their e34's. I've been looking around and pricing but I'de like to see some pictures of the different lowering springs out there.

    So those of you who can post of pictures of their e34's and please list which springs, shocks, and wheel/tire sizes they have.

    I can't seem to find a nice writeup besides (http://www.bmw4life.com/shocksSpringsGuide.htm) that give a visual of some of the spring options out there. Thanks

    I can try to help you out.. Here are a couple before after pics of my car when I put on a set of Bilstiens and BavAuto Springs. They do settle after some milleage. So Ill post a couple pics. If I bought springs again, I'd probobly buy H&r, or Eibach, but these Bav Auto springs arent too bad. The only reason I used these was because I picked them up for 100 bucks new off ebay.

    Heres what I've got:



    Before :







    After: I mean right after I put them on... Straight fromt he garage to the street.








    After with some milleage on them:





    This is how the look with like 15k miles and with M5 reps.. :

    Is it a requirement as an E34 owner that you must have purchased at least one thing from Bimmerfreak?....
