Help with suspension setup

flossy06 · 01-24-2014, 05:32 PM

Hey ppl, I'm new here and purchased a E90 323i 2006 few months back with non-sport suspension. I've decided to put some 18s on it and need help on which lowering springs and shocks to get, would a 40mm drop be too low? I've done some reading around here but still undecided. Also I've been looking on tunermotorsport.com and noticed where it says "this item fits the following BMWs" it never mentions 2006 323i but instead there's 2006 BMW 325i. I guess both 323i and 325i both would have the same fitments?. Any pictures or links would be appreciated. Thanks!

Bilstein b12 and call it good. Eibach pro springs and matching b8 shocks.

I looked at a US 2006 325i and a European (only option for USA or Euro) right hand drive 2006 323i on realOEM. I only check the front struts, springs and wheel carrier, but they both shared the same part number.

Look through it yourself at as many parts as it takes for you to feel comfortable that the parts should fit. I think they will and am guessing it's just a difference in engine, but it's not my money
