.BMW. · 06-04-2016, 03:35 PM

Very nice.

Perfect ride height!

Wow. Usually i have never been a fan of the standard non m sport bar, BUT that lip looks great with that bar. Nice ride

jtolen · 06-05-2016, 10:21 AM

Looks great. anymore photos?

F30_SixSpeed · 06-05-2016, 11:05 AM

Looks nice... I can't but say it looks like the rear sags lower then the front... Does it?

Yes indeed it did. But this pic was taken within a few minutes of it getting lowered. The front has settled a bit lower now after driving it around for a day, probably another 3/8 inch. The rear maybe another 1/8 inch lower, but it looks fairly equal all around now. A few more days of driving and she'll have settled nicely. I'll post more pics eventually. I don't notice any difference in the ride quality over stock. Barely enough room to fit a finger in between the fender and the tire. So far very satisfied.

Looks great. How is the ride compared to stock?

Thx. Ride is the same. I haven't done any hard cornering or aggressive driving yet. I don't drive the car too hard anyways. You definitely feel lower to the ground though lol. I'd say the overall drop was a good 1 1/2 inches. More than I thought it be, but I'm very satisfied. I'll get an alignment in a few weeks.

I noticed your front brakes are larger than OEM brakes. 6 pistons? Brembo BBK?

Great car, by the way.

No, they are aluminum caliper covers. Not everyone's cup of tea. LOL...I hope to eventually get the M performance brakes

SLOWER · 06-09-2016, 10:35 PM

Did you keep stock shocks?

Yes. It'll do for the time being. Maybe coil overs in a couple yrs. I don't notice any change in how the car drives.

SLOWER · 06-11-2016, 08:39 AM

That's surprising because it was night and day when I changed mine.

I'm not driving this car hard. It's babied pretty much. Some ppl saying it bounces around a lot, others say the ride is rough/choppy after switching springs. I'm not seeing any of that negative stuff. Corners and handles about the same, maybe a bit tighter to the road. Gap is about a finger, love it!!

D041987 · 06-30-2016, 05:56 PM

Can you do a side shot from a short distance to show both front and rear and how they sit? Also what is the rims and tire spec? I basically have the same car with sport suspension on the factory 18" rims so want to see how she sits before I buy the Sport or Super Sport springs.

Efthirty · 06-30-2016, 09:23 PM

Nice lip! Can you post a photo of a front shot?

RM7 · 07-01-2016, 12:44 AM

Me too! finally got the 428 lowered.
