I think he meant reverse rake as in the front is sitting higher than the rear.

The tire gap looks a little bit larger up front. Is it the shadow? Did you do before and after measurements?

Ah that makes sense.

It would be nice if they offered this on 340I rear wheel drive. It looks as if the option is for xdrive only.

I have a question, don't you need to have a bilstein b8 or a shock for lowered cars? Or are the shocks from the g20 330i or 320i m sport being able to cope with it? Because usually when you lower a car like that, you can't go fast, meaning the ride on higher speeds becomes very dangerous, the car can just jump up and down, and you lose control, don't you need special shock absorbers for lowers cars? Like kw, bilstein, koni? How is your car handling in high velocities?

I've got the H&R sport springs.

When I had my e300 I had vogtland springs with the same effect. I hated it.

Here's how my car sits

I'm also looking into Eibach since the drop isn't as dramatic as the H&R. The less of a drop, the better for the factory struts. Otherwise, I would never recommend doing just springs.
