How much did it lower the front/rear?
I read that the rear tires rolled 764 RPM at 45 mph and the stock supercar tires rolled at 783 RPMs with the front wheels rolling at 816rpms in both setups. The traction control computer on my M3 was fooled and unnecessarily engaged when I changed tire sizes, do you have any indication of the traction control engaging even slightly (during spirited manuevers)?

In response to your questions.
I haven't put a guage on the tires, but they have more than another 11K miles left. Also, with the new rubber and lowering, alignment is mandatory.
The car would be right at home at a local Low Rider bash. It is slamed! The stock adjusters are all the way out, like 4 turns if I remember right.
There is almost 1 inch of difference in the rear tire heigth over the OEMs, taller. You need to calculate the difference and adjust the VCM accordingly. It is in the form of a computational field in my tuner software and it does the conversion for you and the VCM. I think that I am taching about 1750 @ 85MPH with this combination.
The only time that I've had the TCS kick in is when I'm dirt tracking on pavement and looking at the center stripe out of the door glass.
