I have, they are fine. Got them with Billie B8's and H&R 35mm springs with a steel M50 up front.

Shit pic but they sit just right IMO no noises or any nonsense.

Same set up as DanThe's Chromie I think.

How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

I can't tell you that kangman, it was a 320i on standard boat suspension previously so it WAS noticeable for sure but as for the difference the drop hats make I am sure it is an extra 10-15mm (I believe)

Probably me. I've got 35mm h+r springs all round, e90/2 top hats and thicker rear spring pads. In this pic i have alot of weight in the boot, so its probably a little lower on the back to what you'd have with an empty boot
