Finally dropped

Turb0Surge · 03-08-2013, 01:27 PM

Guess who finally got a drop? *points fingers at self* This guy.

I originally purchased H&R sport springs but I was worried with my daily driving that the 1 inch rear and 1.25 front drop would be too much. So I bought megan springs (Almost same price as the h&r) and installed those on an extra set of oem sport package struts that I had. I then switched those out with mine.

Overall, I am very happy with the drop. I was worried that it would rub with people in the car, but it doesn't. Not as much body roll on corners. The only complaint I have is that the struts are not "stiff" enough on higher speed turns. I might just end up going with aftermarket coilovers anyway to have something "dampening" in the turns more, if that makes sense.

Anyway, here are some pics.

Looks sick!

Alen E90 · 03-08-2013, 01:48 PM

looks good

PR3CI5N · 03-08-2013, 01:53 PM

Looks good. I did the H&R sport route too then purchased Koni's after I got over the ride quality.

AllBlackBimmer · 03-08-2013, 02:51 PM

looks really good...

so you did NOT go with the H&R SPORT SPRINGS? what did you do with them?

and you are still using OEM sport struts with your lowering springs? maybe getting koni's or something similiar would scratch the itch for coilovers...

wwc310 · 03-08-2013, 02:55 PM

looks great! on a side note, does it have a twin turbo?

Still have them. Yeah I have another set of Oem sport struts, so I used these. And I probably WILL end up buying koni's.

don't look that big to me, I was going to guess 18s. What tire sizes are you running?

eradicate · 03-08-2013, 09:11 PM

I'm thinking they are 18 too cuz the tires are pretty beefy

just4kickz · 03-08-2013, 10:00 PM

nice! but get black grills/black finisher rods

Drop more until you can't put your fingers between the fenders and tires

18's. And actually not a lot of beef on the tire, they are stretched so it gives the illusion of more tire.

Here's an older thread when I was buying those wheels: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=713090

Nah, not gonna go lower for the time being. I'm already looking at purchasing coils due to the lack of stiffness in turns, if that makes sense. But it will be around the same height.

looks awesome!!
