For All Those That Dropped Your Ride

Once i get my 335i e92 i plan on dropping it, but i am not sure about which springs to get because of the stiffness, but i still want the really low aggressive look. i dont want the car to be too stiff and feel like your driving on the road, in other words i want it to be comfortable enough to be a daily driver. i want to get the h&r race springs because from what ive seen they drop the car the most, are the people that have this happy with it or is it a little too stiff. if it is too stiff then i am thinking more of the h&r sport vs. the eibach spings.

i have h&r sport springs on my e92 and i think the drop is suffiecient as i drive to and from work, school, errands, etc...

it give car aggressive looks and stiffer ride, but at the same time comfortable enough to be driven daily and not worry about breaking your spine

*PICS* E92 328 with H&R Sport Springs

Contact the vendors on here. My friend is getting his installed right now from DTM Autohaus for $380. That's the price of springs and labor, I believe.

I have the Eibach springs. The ride is great and its lowered the perfect height(about one finger gap in the front and back).

You guys are lucky cuz the roads are crap here and dropping the car is just asking for trouble here. Btw, they look nice. Even with stock rims it looks a lot more aggressive.

You guys are making me want to drop mine...I have a non-sport E90 that I just put 18s on, but now I want to get rid of that 4x4 look.

DAMN! you could probably run the BAJA 1000 with that!

never realized how high in the sky non-sport E90s are... get H&R sports ASAP!
