Lowering options?

vanondemand · 11-07-2013, 12:29 AM

My white e92 with sports suspension, I think my rear is perfect however the front gap is bothering me. What is my cheapest option of making the front a bit lower with out going all out on coils.

Lowering Springs... Eibach or a prefered brand... I just installed the B12 Pro Kit. Took a week to settle, but I got about a 1/2 to 3/4 inch drop. It closed the gap a bit. But not as much as I was hoping honestly. I'm going to upgrade to 19'' wheels here soon to help close it further.

lowering spring just for the fronts

Get lowering perches if all you want is to lower the front slightly.

The problem with just doing lowering springs up front is it COMPLETELY changes the handling characteristics of the car. I would just try and do spec-r springs on all four corners. The rear will drop slightly and the front a little bit more considerably. It is a great setup and rides exponentially better than stock.

+1. What he said. This is the best option at a low price and will accomplish exactly want you are asking for.

if you just want to lower the front, and not change the ride characteristics, just get lowering perches. they'll lower the front about 1/2 inch.
