Rear OME Question - one side lower then the other
I noticed last night that the rear passenger side OME is about 1" lower then the rear driver side. Can I use the Front 5mm coil spacers, Part# - OME95PF5 on the rear OME to level it out? Didn't see anything marketed for the rear OMEs. If not, other suggestions please. Thanks.

What you did
What you probably did is install the left-hand spring on the right side and the right-hand spring on the left side. I did that one... silly me. The driver's side spring is a touch longer than the passenger side one to compensate for the gas tank and 4WD stuff. If you're sure you did them right, I don't know what to tell you.

There is the stuff zach mentioned, also my boss (who is a crazy BMW enthusiest) told me that the M3s are slightly taller on the left side and are designed for a 170lb driver. Just a thought...

Zach is right, the taller spring has to go on the gas tank side. If the springs are in there correctly already though, there are rear-specific trim packers. The fronts will not work on the rears.
You can get them from Mike @ Xtreme Off-Road.
