Here is solution to lift front of your E90 for 10mm.

Stream · 08-03-2015, 12:32 AM

Ok, 3 month later I finally installed E30 front upper spring perch, car drives without any problems and now front sits higher ~10mm.

Why?
I have 325i AT E90 with ZSP package. I wanted lo make it slightly lower, so I have ordered EPK + Koni Sport + performance v2 bumpstops.
Unfortunately car dropped ~25mm on front and 10mm on rear instead of 15mm front, 20mm rear. It was looking like i have HR Springs on front and stock sport springs on rear.

Than feuer suggested we can use E30 perches to raise car a bit, because E30 owners uses E90 perches for lowering purpose.

So I have ordered E30 perches + ZSP bumpstops and it finally it works! Now my car car sits like I wanted (1 finger gap all around, 0,5 finger gap loaded).

Sorry for dirty car, it's constantly rainy here =(

I'm glad it worked out for you!

Love the stance! It looks just about perfect!

Antetokounmpo · 08-03-2015, 09:24 AM

Looks good! So those are eibach pro-kit springs? I feel like my pro-kit springs didn't drop the front as much as yours, even after you raised it. And the top hats aren't new and the springs have settled.

Do you have the part numbers for the perches and bumpstops? Are the bumpstops an additional item that you didn't already have?

P/n for perches:
31331128524

You don't need extra bumpstop, use your old one or replace with new one.

Stream · 06-21-2016, 10:44 PM

Btw, here is how my car looks with sport springs on front and eibach rear (koni yellow, stock perches). I like this setup, but It's not solution for everyone for sure

Figure807 · 06-22-2016, 04:03 AM

Thanks! Looks plenty good to me - I'm tired of scraping over speed bumps.

Do I need the upper spring pad from the e30 as well? #10 in the realoem diagram.

I didn't have e30 spring pad. E90 pad fits good enought (though not perfectly).

Resurrecting this thread, gonna try this on my car. If it works, in theory this should gain me 10mm more shock travel too right??

Yes

mojobmw_e90 · 07-06-2017, 07:54 AM

I replaced mine a few months ago and didn't change anything. Car still low. Even replaced the top strut mount as well. I just came to accept the fact my gray hr springs drop the car nicely

10-12mm isn't a whole lot visually. I'm just looking for a bit more shock travel, and tire clearance so I can keep my lowering springs. There are also 9mm thick spring pads for the e30's, I'm tempted to try those out as well. Luckily I've got a buddy with a set of these laying around

YoungBlood · 07-06-2017, 02:54 PM

alright, I also ordered 9mm spring pads. Hopefully my buddy has his leftover perches, if not, I'll order those too. Combined, I should see something like a 16-18mm ride height increase as well as shock travel. (stock spring pads are something like 2mm thick, and the spring perch is 10-12mm from everything I'm reading) Considering my springs are low enough that I'm tucking half an inch of the front tire almost that should put me at the perfect height, and let me keep the slightly higher spring rates for better handling. I'll update on how it goes when all the parts get here!

Still low but 10mm higher

Not if it didn't change the height level.

did you measure before and after? I raised the front of my car 8mm and it doesn't look any different unless you knew exactly the point it sat at previously

The spring perch is 10mm shallower so it must raise the front. I will leave this argument with that 😂

I'll have a definitive answer once all my parts get here, I'll make sure to take photos

Please take measures with proper measuring tape, don't measure with Chevapi like Mojo, one Chevap gap or Chevap and a half as isn't very accurate
