Got both Koni's and Sprint's installed today. Sprint's...um...it didn't seem to be any lower than my Intrax's. Maybe it need some time to settle? I don't know. The Koni's were harder to install that I thought. I haven't adjust the Koni's yet. Those of you who have the Koni's, what setting do you ride on most of the time? Soft or firm? I would take some pics of the Sprint's, but like I said, I couldn't see any difference. Although, I'm thinking that it might be hard to tell the difference because the Intrax's had a drop of 1.75". So, just a bit different than the Sprint's 2" drop. Now, I need to get an alignment again.

the problem why you don't notice a difference is .. Intrax Sag..
Intrax = higher in front .. lower in back
Sprint = higher in rear .. lower in front
so technically it doesn't look much lower off hand... well the back won't.. the front will

So, in another word, I wasted my money buying the Sprint's. If only I knew there was this little of a difference. Oh well.

a lot of BMW's have the sag look for some reason... it looks bad with the back lower than the front.. some of them look like theres at least an inch and a half difference in height between the front and back

Thanks for the compliment. That's the look I want, the clean look, nothing too flashy. I think there's a time period for the springs to "settle in", so I just hope that it will "settle in". Maybe I'll wait awhile, then take some new pics of the setup and compare them with my old pics to see any noticeable difference.
