H&R vtf and 15mm spacers all around..for how low it is it rides pretty good in my opinion. Ground to fender roughly 29.75” up front and 30.2” in the back. Going to try and find something to adjust the camber so it doesn’t eat the tires.

I'm in the process of painting my rear round black, but I'm not a big fan of emblems. I decided to try and update the location. What do you all think? Fail or ok?

I debadge every vehicle I've ever owned so I dislike them as well but as for badge placement on your car I must say it's not bad at all. Not my cup of tea but I won't knock it either.

Makes it look like a G05 a bit, given the lower location.

Wasn't quite sure what you meant...are you planning to paint the roundels as well? I have the IND black chrome version and really like the look. I think it would look great on yours with the black X5.

Im not committed to it, but the M portion had to go. It's almost invisible but I'm liking the look so far.

I did Feynlab too! Wasn't sure if that had as good a reputation so glad to see someone else with it. What level did you do? I didn't do the top one. I think it was Heal Lite or something.

Looks amazing though!

I did the 4 year "self healing" program. I don't know where that ranges on the scale. I like some of their other products so I was ok with the ceramic. I've done some research beforehand and it's all the same crap.

Without any modifications I was able to get down to - 1.5 camber at all four corners. I was fine with that as the rear started at - 2.5

I have k-Mac front camber bushings and going to try and make custom rear bolts. If I can’t make the bolts for the rear to get more positive spc sells arms for 375. It’s not worth it to me to go through sets of tires lol
