ST coils - worth selling/trading? - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

jahmed78 · 02-28-2012, 08:18 PM

I have ST coilovers on my e90 and have put about 10K miles on them over a year. I just changed my wheels out to 19s and need to raise the car a bit (it settled lower than I expected initially). I'm thinking about going back to sport suspension since I am slowly reverting to more of a stock look and was thinking about selling the coils for $650 or ($500 + stock sport suspension). Is it worth what I'm going to pay for the labor if I'm not selling the car anytime soon? Should I just adjust the height and not deal with the suspension change?

personally i would just raise it and then leave it alone.

but if u want the money, then do the swap yourself to save on install cost and then sell.

What do u mean it's low is it rubbin or it's just too low for your like.

Too low for the 19s. Looked good with the 20s but now it looks like a lowered Honda Accord from 1998

No idea what the ride is like with the STs compared to stock, but I would just raise up the STs and get an alignment .... makes financial sense.

You'll be able to raise/lower the car 1.2"-2.4" up front and 1.0"-2.2" in the rear. I'd say raise the car up first instead of selling it off
