Opinions on ride height

Hello everyone, this Saturday I'm getting my kw v2 coils installed, I'm still on the oem 17's, next mod will be the 19's. Want to lower the car and get rid of all of the wheel gap. Do you think this is too low, for clearance issues, not looks. If the coils are set stiff enough, can I be clear of all rubbing? Even with a passenger in the car? http://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/att...2&d=1392190066

I do think your car sit way too low

Regarding the rubbing issue I believe thats will depend on your 19inch wheels width and et

That depends on offset and tire height as well. Whoever installs the coils can also corner balance, basically simulating the weight of passengers to make sure even with them you dont rub

How much do these coils settle? After a week
Would they drop more?

Most do, yes. Not a lot but could be 1/4" maybe.

Cool thanks! I'll ask to have it lowered to the f30 in that pic, but a little bit higher in the front

Wheel specs would be useful. Width, offset, tire size, camber.
