Thats what I figured. I wasn't sure if they were OEM sport springs and if BMW used the same shocks for both sport and non-sport.

I don't want to be too low as the car already makes some dips and and roads a little worrisome. The roads in La Jolla are not as good as I expected!

Well eibach should be fine with your stocks for now and if u aren't ready to upgrade to lowering shocks/struts u can get bilstein b4 they're suppose to be oem upgrade

I totally agree, those do not look like 18 inch rims in the pic. Maybe because spokes are pretty thin, and dark color like was mentioned earlier in the thread.

OP, what drew you to the Style 224 specifically? Seems like you went through hell to get those on the car.
