Lowering spring seat

Robbo335 · 03-26-2009, 02:09 PM

If you'd like to keep the stock M-sport / standard suspension but you find the car to sit just a bit too high over the front wheels; here is your solution:

Switch the top front spring seats/plates!
They will lower the car about 10 - 15 mm (0,4 - 0,6").
Part number is SUFT015 and the company manufacturing them is Supersport (Germany):

For US: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=273331

Mine were about 60 USD (shipped - within Europe).

How? This is how:

Follow larryn's (http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15397) excellent DIY on how to replace the stock springs with H&R's; starting from post #5. Follow steps 1 through 17. At step 17 I used a socket with a 21mm outside grip together with a 6 mm Allen key, this to prevent the shock absorber piston rod from rotating.

When the original spring seat/plate is removed, simply replace it with the Supersport one.

Reassemble in the opposite order.

Below you will find few photos from the installation. Sorry for the not-so-professional DYI layout...

This is cool stuff! Nice job Robbo!
The part cost is about $63 before shipping. I don't see a USA shipping option though. My German is marginal, otherwise I'd just email them and ask for a quote.

200Duece · 06-04-2009, 06:20 PM

do they have upper and lower spring pads for the rear that will lower the car the same way as these cups do for the front?

supremepower · 06-05-2009, 08:22 PM

Guys I got the pricing. Trying to see how much we pay and how much freight is. Im working on this so hang tight

supremepower · 06-09-2009, 09:09 PM

Looks like we can do them for about $60 to $70 shipped depending on how many people are interested.

Can we get a head count on this?

If you are local, installation will be available as well.
