Still stock. If I lower mine any more, I don't think it'll clear my driveway. Need to put some boards down as it is.

Have you always been there? Or did you just end up there? I thought for some reason you were in Cali…

Yeah I’m just going to stick with my ride height since I just got it aligned… I’ll just have to look into some 18s and a super plush tire for my street set

I was until yesterday! Up in Seattle for the foreseeable future! The Bay will always be my home but I’m sure as hell not going to miss CA taxes and gov’t.

Who knows, maybe I’ll eat my words and be back there… but Seattle’s an awesome place and I’m pretty stoked to explore PNW

Oh man, good luck in Seattle. Too bad we didn't get a chance to meet, hit up Knightarmor here on the forum.

I’ll be back semi-regularly! Might drive down every now and then, hopefully the East Bay meets are still going on!

I’m on MPHAS which is the same except for the spring rates, I’ve gotten used to it now I think. I set everything to comfort for driving around the city and avoid places like Queen Anne unless I have to go there. Honestly though if you’re primarily going for looks, I’d go with Eibachs. My car is corner balanced so the HAS kit ended up being worth it from that perspective but I’m likely going with coil overs once my shocks are toast

Same here. Lowering is great for looks, but not practical for WA topography, not to mention the condition of the roads.

I'm running EMD springs and have the occasional scare - but honestly I avoid dt Seattle as much as possible. I use the SUV if I'm not familiar with the roads where I'm going.

I’m on stock ZCP suspension, and I avoid downtown Seattle as much as possible. The only time I go near there is to bring in the car for service at BMW of Seattle.

I wish the roads were better driving through the CHAZ area.

All Ms welcome here I've got more gap than you (pic below) but similar ground clearance. I'm used to it now, the only place that really gives me a little heartache is driving around SODO on some streets.

I find the roads are all pretty equally terrible until you're several miles out of the city. Haven't run into any big issues yet. It's not my daily driver though.

Yep...iam on eibachs and a front splitter. You definitely need to be paying attention at all times, lots of summer road construction going on now too, it sucks.....bad I am in the green lake area.
I have had a set of 18" wheels n tires on my list of things to buy for a year and a half.

I would stay with stock as long as I imagine. Even stock height can't get me into every parking lot or my friends' driveway.
