Tell me if i need a little lowering??

my 335i is on 19" iForged wheels....i dont like the wheels being inside the fender and i think that the rear's ride height is real good, the guys at iForged agreed, but despite being a sport pkg car the front needs a little lowering in my opinion say 1" or 0.5". I was thinking about getting H&R sport springs all around but dont know how much lower my rear would go? What about just springs in the front? Or i could always just get coil overs....

I think a lowered stance will make your car look very aggressive but judging by your photos it looks as if you may have some issues with fender rubbing. Perhaps rolling the fenders?

no no, no issues with fender rubbing at all, i was saying that i dont like to have my tires run inside the fender like that "slammed" look, i like a tiny gap between the tires and fenders

i have h&r sports springs on my e92 and i like them very much because the drop is just right and the ride is nice and stiff, but i am on a budget, but i will be eventually upgrading to coilovers 1-2 years down the road

you should do coilovers if you have the money (i am sure you do, look at those wheels), since you can adjust the height of the lowering so you can lower the front and raise or lower the rear so that your wheels will fit w/o rubbing and to get that desired look

I would say lower it only if you are looking to use a real suspension setup (ie. good coilovers), and not springs with oem shocks. Just my opinion though.
