New wheels + drop?

Ok, so here's the story, I have a E92 335I coupe, she's 8 days old now.

thats the car right now, with pretty much nothing done to it.

I'm doing this next week

-20% tint on sides and back.

-painted reflectors coming in the mail.

-Reiger rear spoiler coming in the mail.

-OEM sport front lip incoming once I order it.

-PROcede about to be ordered.

-Iforged Essen's in Graphite, 19"

What I want to know is, once I upgrade from the 18's to 19's, will I still have enough fender clearance to add H&R sport springs? these will drop the car 1 inch in the back, and 1.3 in the front.

If anyone would be kind enough to Photoshop all those mods together, I'll be forever in your debt.

But I'm more interested in knowing about the springs first, don't want to order what I cant use.

Oh, First thread 4tw!, I'm from Bimmerforums, and thought I'd see how everyone was doing!.


Phil.

Welcome to the boards. You should be fine with the sport springs. Depending on the width, offset and tire size of your new wheels, you may need/want to roll the rears.

I'd do the photoshop, but that's a lot off stuff to do. I think the lowered suspension and wheels will make the biggest visual impact to your car.

welcome and congrats.....

with the H&R Soprt springs, you will have no problem with rubbing, providing the wheels are made for your car(correct offsets)...

I got a mate to do the photoshop for me, this is my car in 2 weeks. only difference is he tinted my front reflectors, and I'm getting painted ones.
