Hi Guys:
I just dropped my c36. H&r springs and billstein shocks, used stock pads. I got about a quarter inch or less than a finger gap in the front because I lopped off 2 coils. I am a little worried...has anyone had problems with this low a drop? Should I stick in like a 2 or 3 pad or should I be fine? All your opinions are appreciated.

ALso, I need to readjust camber in the front? Is there a camber kit for my car?
I don't know how to post them here, but here is my car in an album.

hey, your c looks pimp dawg.

i'm pretty much running the same setup as u r. with 225 45 17's, my tires go into the fender and rub, so i switched to 215 40 17 on the front and i'm fine. if u're not rubbing so far, u'll be fine.

as far as camber kits go, i've only seen rear kits, not front. just do alignment (toe) and your tires will last a while.

drop looks perrrfect! have you experience any rubbing so far? if you are, try to see what's rubbing and go from there because sometimes it could be solved by fender rolling or some shaving rather than immediately going up to the next pad.

Thanks for the feedback! I haven't had rubbing issues yet....
The pics came the same day as the drop...I have let them settle in for a few days and I have the butterfly effect (of course)
I am bringing it in four a 4 wheel alignment tomorrow....I guess I will take it from there.

there are camer bolts that u can use for the front. I don't know how much they fix the camber tho. Also If u really want these bolts, I have a set of 4 (2 for each side) that I haven't used. I got them for about $60 at the dealer, I'll let them go for $50 shipped. And if u have rear camber I have some Speedybenz rear camber arms that I haven't used. He sells them on his website for $250+shipping. Will sell them for $240 shipped (brand new!)
