im in new jersey .. roads arent really the smoothest around .. im really not on a budget cuz i can get both kits for basically the same price .. my car might get dropped a bit .. if i get the reiger then i cant really drop .. but if i get the m3 .. its getting dropped like 2 inches at least .. so i dont know .. people are saying that the reiger kit is like 2 inches lower then m3 kit .. also .. i was planning on getting just the reiger bumpers and the m3 sides .. so at least i can still jack my car up hehe
