All I saw was body roll man, lol, you need coilovers or strut bars or somethin bro... at least lower it a bit, haha
weak drop, but car looks awesome otherwise, now man up and coilover that bitch !

LOL, i didn't see the m3 at all, but I noticed something was coming up behind me quickly, and I decided to play around at the light because i'm testing different routes to my new workplace :P
it's on DC5-R Suspension. The body roll is there because we lack the stance/re-enforcement. Otherwise, when i'm "trying" it actually keeps quite flat :P it''s supposedly the "proper geometry" for the car, and actually feels VERY good in terms of response from the driver, very controllable.
The reason i decided to go back up from my spoon springs (which i loved the drop on, was able to get everywhere, and had not too much issues, and looked great) was because my underground of my penthouse's parking got all gay and has a giant slope that I can barely make with this set.
TBH, put another 02-04 that's bone stock beside me, and you'll see i'm at least an inch lower in the front, and a bit lower in the back due to spring rate + my subs being heavy. Acura/Honda did decide to lower the 05-06's by about the same amount as where i'm sitting, so that's why it looks so stock-y ride height.
Overall, i'm pretty impressed with it, i'd love to be lower, but where I live just won't take it, and it's about time I went to function over form for some things. I'm getting old, what can I say :P I mean, you always see those hot-version/option vids and they take a bone stock DC5R out onto the track, those drivers are pretty pro, and they seem to approve XD
Either way, i'm not reasoning about my purchase, but you'd be happy if you paid what I paid for them as a temporary stop-gap between that and the set of coils i really want... which i can't afford at the moment with new suspension, ecu etc etc coming in.
