the ride is almost the same as stock height with the koni's on full soft and eibach lowering springs...the ride can then be adjusted (via koni shocks) to really stiffen things up. the biggest change is the steering with the car lowered...the steering feels much heavier and less loose.

as for the M3...it was a great car for 2 years...but i was seeing myself at too many traffic lights where i live...i change cars every year or so. i like the uniqueness and look of the crossfire. the M3 was fast (i ran 13.08 in the 1/4)....the down side was the shifting and feeling like i always had to drive the car fast...i like just cruising in the automatic crossfire. my next car is going to be the best of all worlds...an E55 amg m/b in a year or so.
