Should I go lower ?

E93FTW · 03-18-2014, 09:42 PM

Springs? Coils? Which ones are best for my E93 stock suspension.

Depends on how much cash you want to spend... Are you going for looks or performance?

ny325 · 03-18-2014, 09:52 PM

Wow, That's already too low for me. It could be the size of your rims. With the potholes we have in NYC, your car will be swallowed up. Anyhow, I won't lower it.

It's actually stock, the 19" wheels help cover up the rear pretty well but the front not as much.

nothing wrong with springs , coilovers are good if you value adjustably. I say go for springs. I drive my car almost maxed out in NYC and in SOFL. you could slam it down here and be fine , tri-state area and NYC isn't as bad as people make it out to be. yeah the roads are horrible so slow down and constantly scan for potholes. that being said I cracked 3 wheels but its part of having low profile tires

Go with ST coilovers. Good compromise between shock/spring setup and a fully adjustable coilover setup.

I literally parked it illegally and had to wait for about 20 mins for there to be no cars. this is on a smaller street that turns off before times square so that helped too less traffic then broadway.
I posted some up on a thread a while ago if you wanna check it out

thanks! there are plenty of spots in SOFL for some nice pictures , especially in miami. get some springs and enjoy some sick shots you'll get , I recommend if you have the room/tools to do it yourself, I never touched a suspension /brakes/engine until I got my e92 and after over 4 years of DIYs I can call myself a competent DIYer. You'll save your self hundreds on spring install alone
