I always thought they looked better on the coupe, but actually those recent pics from the French male bonding session tell a different story! Maybe because the other roadsters were also on 19s.

I'm on Eibachs, so I'm lower, which looks good but is causing me issues getting in my garage, the front fang just catches on the slope of the drive.
If it ever comes to changing dampers I think I'll go the whole hog and change the lot.
Got to love Silver Grey M's on CSL's.
Never had the stock shocks/springs, but I know that these are about 1cm lower on the front and 0.5cm at the rear at the moment. They are about as high as you can safely take them. I like the Eibach drop - it's a little more, right? Seems to be visually perfect. Maybe you need some
fang protectors?

Me too - shameful really! It was actually for financial reasons. I couldn't afford to fit tyres and road test them if it wasn't going to work out, because the CSLs were brand new and boxed and I would have lost about £500 overnight if the experiment failed. In the end I took loads of measurements and photos (plus forum advice - Beedub, GuidoK and BMWZ4MC in particular - cheers dudes) and it is still touch and go with these V3 front springs. The front wheels are spaced 10mm and the clearance is still marginal, but I have to believe that the progressive springs are worth keeping because the ride and general road-holding is superb.
The Vortis were £440, delivered. Muchos value.
