Uneven lowering on AC Schnitzer springs for 335d LCI.

Hey guys,

Greetings from New Zealand,

I'm just wondering if anyone has recently lowered their 335d LCI with ACS springs. Been going through ALL the threads and the reverse rake (rear end sitting considerably lower than front end) is really going to do my head in no matter how well it handles.

During one of the threads Lorcan mentioned a shorter spring was being looked at for the front to remedy this.

Any news on that? I recently pulled the trigger on a set of ACS springs for my 2016 335d f31 with adaptive but the more pics I look at, the more I'm thinking about the eibach route for an even ride height rather than installing the ACS and going ass down.

I have major design OCD and reverse rake will drive me as crazy as the exhaust only being on one side. Any info appreciated

Thanks fellas

I will be getting my 2015 335d LCI fitted with ACS springs shortly. I will post a review with measurements on ride height.

However, my old E92 335d looked higher on the front and so does my neighbours 535d. I just thought it was by design as there is so much weight over the front wheels.

Just had the acs springs fitted and from what i can see this issue has now been resolved and i was advised that the front springs were a new version to help.

Do you have part numbers? Did they update the part numbers for the front?
