Nice - hate to see them get kerbed with that polished finish.

Different too and with 335's on the back I bet they stick out a bit! Hope they don't get picked up on an MOT.

Ride OK?

There's a guy I met at the Hayes Meet that Jason arranged with a VERY tricked out 7 series - he's just bought a 4.8is. Goes by the name of Westside and is on xoutposts looking to lower his car.

He's getting someone to make some bits, etc. Might be worth having a look through his posts on that forum to help give you ideas...

Read a while back that you can replace the rear air suspension relatively easily - just not sure about the detail though.

335!! :o , even with my 325 the wheels stick out a little. I think just the rear wide arch should finish the job!

Very nice, just in time for the summer :driving:

Do you need the rear spacers?

I think lowering would definitely do the whole look justice. I know changing the rears to springs is possible as a guy I spoke with the other week had springs on the back of his. Not sure about the front but should be easier as you have springs already.

Good luck however you go about it. Loving the rims by the way.

yeh probably doesnt need the spacers to be fair, but my mate who i bought them off let me have thrm all for an excellent price so couldnt not have thrm seeing them sat there. The two spacers alone were £200 less than a year ago, i had them half price. If i can get it lowered on rear via springs then i will definitely try it as its also less to go wrong with springs instead of air etc. Thanks for comments on wheels, the car looks and drives so much better, car sits so much better at every angle now
