Hey guys I have a bmw 328 2011 I changed the struts when I purchased car (after market FCS ) and it’s been looking like this for a month now I attached a before and after pic. I’m thinking the springs on this are long or very stiff idk

What’s the distance from the centre of the wheel (bmw badge to the lip of the wing?

B4s and eibach pro have me a measure of 34.5cm
If you want a comparison

I don’t have the measuring thing but just comparing the two pics it just stands way to tall now

What did you replace the factory with..?? Do you have sports suspension..?? did you put sports suspension parts back on..?? Were the shocks completely blown..?

Yeah replaced old oem struts with aftermarket FCS complete strut. Turns out it was made longer than the original. The fix is get sachs struts instead!!
