Lowered Finally!

335iVlad · 08-13-2014, 10:51 AM

Sorry for the really shitty picture, but yes finally lowered on H&R springs. Ride is not as bad as I expected. Rough on bumps, but besides that it's pretty smooth. Got one complaint though, now for some reason my head lights seem to be pointing too low, any way of fixing this?

looks better lowered. your headlight may seem low because you have more of a rake than OEM. also, make sure whomever installed the springs put the headlight leveler sensor back onto the control arm.

all cars look better lowered!

The ride is certainly not as bad as I expected it to be. Rough on the bumps, but overall it feels really planted and smooth.

Nice! Minimize wheel gap = win

On my pre-lci e92 I was able to adjust the headlights under the hood with the screw driver in the trunk tool kit.

Just aim the car at a flat wall and make sure both headlights are level

I found this picture online that pretty much shows you what to do

335m · 08-13-2014, 02:47 PM

Looks good, definitely need some more pictures.

After lowering mine I had a nagging feeling that I need more ground effects. (front lip, M3 side skirts, etc)

StevenY. · 08-13-2014, 02:52 PM

Looks good. Did you get an alignment and if you did, where'd you go? I'm trying to find a good place nearby since I just installed my coilovers.

No I haven't actually, and was wondering the same thing lol.

335iVlad · 08-13-2014, 06:57 PM

Some more pics, OP also updated.

For any spring/coilover installs, you gotta hit up this guy.

KayMo · 08-13-2014, 07:46 PM

looks so much better!

Let me know if you find a good one nearby. I've seen a lot of people go to top of alignment (45nyc_ on instagram) or something but that's in Queens so if there's something in Brooklyn that's good and fair priced, I'd rather go there.
