Marty, I envy both you and Kyle lol. Never had the opportunity to travel outside the U.S except for Canada (Toronto)

Hope you guys get a chance, it's fun to go all out even if your ride only has 140hp.

Stopping for go-juice with my daughter. Of course she's texting - blissfully unaware that she's in a cool car.

Looking good, Gabe. Hopefully, it won't be much longer until our rides come out of hibernation once again

Consider yourself as fortunate that you're cool car isn't sitting on jack stands while in winter storage lol. In the meantime, welcome aboard

The last 2 Sundays I had a choice; wash and wax, or gas and go. Since i haven't driven mine in months, I chose gas and go. Put a big smile on my face.

I know exactly what you mean Gabe, it didn't finally stop snowing here until after 6PM yesterday. Ended up having to shovel another 3 inches off the sidewalk and front porch

It stopped here fairly early, but we ended up with about 2-3" ... most of it melted by early afternoon as it got into the mid-40's outside ... I scraped up our walkway and a bit of the driveway that was in the shade.
If that was the last snow we see till next winter, I'll be more than happy.
Car show season is starting, there's already one scheduled for this Sunday and another for next week Saturday, about 2 hours away - this I'm more interested in since the car really need a nice drive after sitting with the same gas in them since November ... need to burn that crap outta there and get some fresh stuff in before boosting them up and really enjoying them.

Pretty much the same here as well. 2-3 more inches from yesterday, got into the low 40's today and melted by mid-afternoon. Hopefully, this will also be the last snowfall until next winter, as I'm anxiously awaiting getting the Mustang out from hibernation and enjoying this year's upcoming car cruise season

It was pretty awesome! BMW rents just about every car they make straight from the factory and the prices aren't bad at all-it was $250 for me to have that car for 10 hours!

Fresh pics with the new BMR GT500 front springs, BMR GT rear springs, and the BMR rear LCAs.
Dusty from sitting since November, but I took it up and down the road, and **** it felt good!!!

IMO the BMR springs also give a better stance, at least appearance-wise anyhow Gabe. In the meantime, congrats

That's pretty awesome. Not too bad of a price either. I would love to take some of the M cars out.
I think I would love to own a brand new BMW X5M one day. Gorgeous vehicle inside and out.

Thanks Rocky, but the funny (not so funny, cuz it cost me money) thing is, the front sits at the same exact height on these BMR's as it did on the 5-year-old Steedas.
Not happy with that, was hoping the new springs would raise the front a bit.
The new BMR rears have the rear sitting about 3/8" lower than the old Steedas, so that's OK, I just really hope that neither set will settle, at all.

You would think with the BMR's having a stiffer spring rate over the Steeda Sports as they're designed exclusively for the GT500? and also being new springs, they should most definitely raise the front a bit, at least IMHO anyhow Gabe

If I were you, I'd strongly recommend contacting BMR just to make certain you got the right set of springs for your own piece of mind.

Yeah, already sent them a message, we'll see what they say
