You're correct to assume aftermarket springs w/oem shocks equals premature shocks although not sure how much sooner the shocks will go out. Also, not sure how good the H&R coilovers are on an e9x M3 (they were a rough ride on an e46 M3 w/only ride height adjustment) but they're on closeout at TireRack for around $1145 from what I remember a few days ago. That's basically half the price of kW's & CROSS coilovers if you don't mind not having dampening adjustments besides ride height.

Generally speaking, ex post facto laws are unconstitutional. So therefore, I think if you retain your tint receipt in your glove box and can prove that your tint was applied prior to September 1, 2009, you MIGHT be okay. I have legal limit tint, but my installer never installed the decal stating that it is in compliance with TX tint laws.
I don't think my tint installer put a compliance decal on.
