Heres my Boston green M42 318is :)

[MrAlan]

Its been a gradual build up from a standard fairly beaten up example to where i am now, im happy with it but im running out of styling ideas, any suggestions? I know i need a new front bumper but should i stick to Mtech?
Also cant decide whether my wheels are better off graphite or should i do something else with em? thanks for any help

A mate keeps saying lower it 40mm, is it worth it? it handles well anyway with the Mtech suspension

unless you move the suspension points in the car at the same time, you are only limiting the total distance the suspension can travel.  in other words, no free lunch.  

if you're doing this for cosmetics, do what you will, but lowering a car reduces handling in my experience once you move past a certain point.  it's like sawing off a coil on the springs.  you lowered it, great, but now you got less suspension.  if your car was designed to move the suspension to absorb street conditions, you lessened that ability now.

To be honest mate i prefer it as it is, the car handles well and absorbs most bumps at same time. i just wasnt sure what the total effect would be, im sure it wouldnt handle worse lower but id have to put some sort of belly pan cover on it. dunno lol i suppose ill probably leave it.
