Nice ride man glad to see more people are jumping into the m45....Im curious cause im undecided if i want coilovers right now or just use the Eibachs but does the front sit higher then the back? It doesnt look like it in pics but i know pics never do justice i just need to lower the car cant stand looking at sitting so high!

welcome to VSC. happy to see more M's on the scene. ride looks good, but i know what you mean about the height springs just dont do it. i just installed coilovers on my M. also think about doing an aero kit, it makes a huge difference.

Welcome! a fellow DG, sweet!

It appears that way and yes eibach is notorious for this but I think the way the rear fender is made it makes it look that way...hard to explain, and truthfully I felt the back sat higher kinda raked stance so i did the spring mount mod in the rear to bring it down a little more. rides great...better then stock for sure only thing is that damn plastic cover under the front scrapes on everything.

In the rear theres a rubber spring mount, and when I lowered my G it was uneven so I cut the rubber mount, here a thread on what I'm talking about...
