No problem.
I'm still feeling the suspension out but I can say that it is definitely very smooth. No adverse effects of a new suspension. I'm still looking into this, but my front didn't lower at all compared to my initial measurements but the rear went down about a half inch (which is exactly the opposite of what I expected). It seemed like the BMW PS front springs were shorter and the rears were the same length, yet I got the opposite effects when mounted. I'm fairly certain everything is together as it should be and I made my measurements from the wheel center cap to fender height (not the floor), but even so, my measurements were made in the same location in the garage. I wasn't overly concerned with lowering it, just looking for flatter handling, which lowering the Cg can do.
Nonetheless, I really enjoyed the install process and really like how smooth the car drives. I hope to autocross it in a few weeks and can perhaps talk more about the actual dynamic handling after that.
