H&R Coils: making them go LOWER

breezy25 · 02-11-2016, 12:25 PM

Hey guys, I have a set of H&R street performance coils getting delivered tomorrow for my e90 335xi and I was hoping some of ya'll could help answer how I can obtain even further lowering in the front.
I've heard chatter about lowering perches and bump stops and I can't seem to find the thread I once read on this very same topic (maybe it's been removed?) via search function. I even saw someone say something along the lines of buying the RWD H&R springs and loading the fronts onto the coils to get the front lower as well.
Anyway, I know they can allegedly drop 2.5" but from the pictures and threads i've seen, people still can't close up that fender gap in the front and i'd really hope to be sitting flush.

Any info helps fellas! Thanks and take care

I believe that th perches are for normal strut/spring combos, rather than coils. Could be wrong though.

Bump. Lemme know if anyone knows how to solve dropping the front!

You can take out the locks on the coilobers to make them go lower

My H&Rs sit pretty flush. I have the front on the lowest setting.
