What are you guys doing to do about the stance?

Guys getting the 15 M3/4, the biggest visual negative to me is the stance of the car, what are you guys going to do? Springs? Or wait for a coilover set?

Wont both of these negatively effect the handling of the car?

Thanks!

I went with KW Variant 2 Coilovers. I went with these because I'm either an aggressive driver, or a cruiser. These are perfect for me.

Ill prob go with sleeve kit as soon as KW releases them, I'm sure it won't be to long after launch. Look at HnR for the 2 series the springs were out a month or two after launch

20 mm spacers would do just fine on standard 18" wheels

I will go for KW Sleeves that will inevitably come. I am not purchasing a car though until ZCP and LCI come along. Maybe then I can give some of our forums sponsors some business.

Thanks!
Yes, especially with just springs only. You will have a reduction in available compression travel, less than ideal suspension geometry and struts and shocks not designed with the higher spring rates.
