Great shots Andrew!

Did you raise your height recently? How's the rubbing in the front these days?
I've firmed up the fronts and added the pivot bearings which has helped but not gotten rid of the rub against the fender/bumper joint.

Thanks Bahn! Oh man, I've actually been scared to do this so I've never really done it, haha. The car was like $56Kish and I think all the mods were around $17K with labor. Yikes! M3 territory, I know. I didn't plan on spending so much on mods, but it just happened, lol. It's my damn obsessive behavior. The bad thing is my next mod will probably be an F80 so I'm going to have to be very patient with that one.

LOL, yup! I had these for Bimmerfest, but I went back to the black and gold ones now.

Thanks Martin! I'm actually still at the same height as I was at before. Unfortunately, I still hit against the fender on big dips. I'm thinking about dremeling the inside lip a bit to give a little more clearance. I think it's a tiny piece of the inner fender lip that's rubbing. I'll keep you posted!

Take a closer look at the joint where the screw is that holds the bumper to the fender. The edge is likely bent down. I know that I did rub on the fender lip before I put the pivot bearing in too, but I've confirmed that this joint hits the tire. It left a distinct mark on the sidewall after I washed the car and applied some tire dressing.

I'm nut sure yet how much I'd need to cut off of if that joint could be bent up to provide clearance yet.

Hey Martin sorry it took me a while to get back to you on this. Been a busy few weeks. So I dremeled as much of it off that I dared to but bc of the bolt, I couldn't go further. I also noticed that the tire was rubbing a bit on the plastic protective lining of the wheel well. I took it for a spin and I think it did help but it still rubbed on big bumps. I may have to switch to 245 30 20 and 285 25 20 to eliminate the rubbing but I really don't want to do that. I only took it for a short drive so I'll report back after some more testing.

It's been a while since I've updated this thread. Just wanted to post one more pic from Jmeas that I think looks cool.

Actually, the photos were taken before the wrap was put on and got the photos back after. Wish I had it for the photos.
