Haven't really posted any pics of my ride, thought I would do so after I installed the sachs kit on her. Enjoy, I know I do!

...I've got the same and love it, seems somewhat rare... maybe just a factory option, haven't checked the ETK.

Nice job! What would you rate this project on a 1-10 scale for an average DIY?

6? It took me a full Saturday + one night to get it done. It's not that it's hard to do, it just takes a while. Stucks bolts and using the spring compressor held me up at times. It was my first time as well so that itself made it take longer.

I'm located in Morristown. You?

Thanks guys. It was a good learning experience. Onto more DIY projects!

wow that is a long time:p
I did the Sachs kit( from BMA) M-tech Sways( from Pacific BMW) and new lemforder control arms w/ 750i bushings and new dog bones....took me about 4 1/2 hours.

but i must say I have above average mechanical abilities and used air tools;)

so your ride has 60kmi? How does the ride compare to other set up? I'm trying to figure out which kit to install to give it the best ride while lowered.

Thanks guys for the compliments! I got asked today if it was an //M. I wish!

The ride is stiffer than stock but totally acceptable for a daily driver. I'm digging the kit so far. We'll see how she feels down the road. I think for the price its a great deal. Lowers the car a good amount and gives a sportier ride for taking those off ramps in a spirited manner. :D
