Help needed with lowering springs - E92 325d M-Sport

[S4J]

Need some help finding some springs to lower the car about an inch more than what the current m-sport suspension is set at.

[Raj]

Will be either H&R or Eibach. I've just gone with H&R and am very pleased. Have run Eibach prokits previously and they have been just as good but may not lower by as much as you may be after. H&R will lower slightly more than the prokit, but then there may be the sportline option from Eibach.

[S4J]

The thing is i've found 2 kits for the car from H&R.

1. Front: 60mm and Rear: 40mm
2. Front: 50mm and Rear: 25mm

Thing is I don'tknow which one is right to buy, will these be the amount of lowering on a standard non-m sport car?

If so which one is likely to lower the m-sport buy about an inch?

Also found EiBach pro kit which does 35mm front and 25mm rear.

have you sold the S5 matey?? I'm not with the times clearly :p

I'm running:

2. Front: 50mm and Rear: 25mm

I'd avoid going any lower.

Part number: 29187/1, Teddy at SSDD will sort them for you.

50mm fronts / 25mm rears is the way to go. Also, the drop in mms is always from stock SE ride height and not sport.

Hotcoupe's is just right...:cool:

[///M Sport]

Yep just as Raj said, drops are from SE ride heights.

[Mehmet]

H&R has the better drop i think. Hotcoupe's car looks very nice :)

[S4J]

Thanks for all the help guyz.

[Moe]

Wow that car does look good lowered, how do you coupe with speed humps etc

[mysticm3]

if you running on sport suspension then usually take 10-15mm off the manufacturers quoted drop.

H&R are quite low but ok if you drive carefully :)

Matt didnt know you also did walls....LOL

[S4J]

Anyone know of a good place to in the Edinburgh/West Lothian area to get springs fitted and then have the alignment done?
