Got the M Dropped.

Post by **jadeM45** » Fri Jul 18, 2008 7:10 am

Well my springs are finally in. They are the Espiler 1.6 drop for the gloria. They went in with no issues. My only wish is that the fronts would be lower to match the backs. My buddy told me that he could cut a half a coil, not a whole one since the gap between the springs is very large. The only issue would be a possible "popping" when turning. Not sure I want to deal with that.

Well here is the before:

Here are the afters:

I wanted to, but the funds did not allow at the moment. These were the lowest springs I could find. I am going to have to go coilovers or air to get it as low as I want it.

Exquisite! I second painting the lower body to match. Should make the M look like one solid piece!

BTW, are you still selling your stock rims? Let me know.

Hmm, I actually like the unpainted fascia at the bottom. Looks a little more aggressive.

I agree that it makes it look more aggressive, but if he paints it the same color then it will look lower.... hahahaha it's an old trick!

That is true. Oh well, still like no paint.

Very beautiful car man. I can't wait to see more updates.

Post by **jadeM45** » Tue Aug 05, 2008 4:16 am

I went with the F1 Ultimate Series. It is ceramic but does not have the non electronic interference property. I paid $209 installed. I went with the legal 28 on all the side windows and the 18 on the rear window only. I didn't want to have a shade difference on the sides since the widows basically but up against each other. I am very happy with the results. It is much cooler in the car and looks good too.

I also decided to debadge the rear of the car. Looks very clean in my opinion.

Now for the pictures:

Your car is amazing, the exact reason I bought mine just yesterday. I would like to chat with you on the car..

Where did you get the springs? I have looked for the last hour. LOL And the debadging was it easy (just heat up and come right off..)

Thanks for the help.Love the car.

Man, let's get some pics up in the Members Rides thread. I am waiting on a response from another mod to see about some Espilir springs for you.

Post by **chauffeur first** » Wed Sep 24, 2008 8:21 pm

Awesome.. I will post up some pics, I just have to get these chrome aftermarket rims off it, I am not a fan of them at all, but they are nice and have brand new rubber on them.. I was thinking about getting the 2007 G35 Sedan S wheels from a buddy across the street, you think those would look ok on my 2003 M45?J
