good thing i checked into those brakes fitting... the rears need $800 worth of parts to make them fit on the 328's. It'd almost be worth getting the BMW performance brakes after all is said and done (about $1500 for the 335's and $1900 for the BMW-P)

Can someone please explain to me the difference between coilovers and just lowering springs? I know that there is a huge price difference and both will close that fender gap from the pics yesterday, but need more info.

Coilovers include the shocks and the springs. Depending on which coilovers you get, they can be adjustable in terms of ride height, shock rebound, etc. One benefit is that the shock is properly matched to spring rate.

coilovers (replaces all components: struts, spring) can adjust dampening(most) and ability to lower and raise

springs (replaces just the spring) sooner or later you will have to replace your strut and you do not have the ability to raise or lower the car and no control of dampening

Depending on what you will be using the car for you will be able to figure out what kind of setup you will need

Well, my car was successfully neutered yesterday. You really don't know what you have til it's gone. Al, you'll definitely feel a difference with the DPs, intercooler, and intake! Can't imagine what it'll feel like with the stage 2 flash.

(Still need to sell BOV, coilovers, CF grills, and wheels)
