Need lowering advice e90 M Sport

robbylite · 08-22-2014, 06:14 PM

Hey guys,

Just looking for some advice here. I'm currently on stock m sport suspension. I want to go lower, close the gap between my tires and fenders. I'm leaning towards h & r sport springs. My budget is $500. Ride quality is a concern. Don't want it too bumpy.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

You may be able to find a bmw performance kit for that money. Or save a couple hundred more and go with the bilstein b12 kit.

I'm in the same boat. Probably going Koni Yellows and H&R sport. Looked at the Cobb springs as I'm a fan of the quality of Cobb products (from my Subaru days) but they're pricey. Would love the Dinan setup w/ matched springs but that's crazy money.

Wait, Save up, and get coil overs. I went with spring/shocks in my last bmw and then got kw coils. I wish I had just saved and got coilovers in the first place. You can get the the exact height you want and depending on the coils adjustable dampening. You can find some good coils floating around here on the forums for good prices.
