I'm going to order my suspension this Saturday (for my birthday) and I'm going to end up doing ISC street comfort.
I'm going to roll me fenders, because this is how the wheels fit as it sits.
(I'm not dropping it all the way, I'm aiming for the 1 finger distance)
What do you guys think, send it, or send it?

Are you silly?

In other words, do you think it'll hit the fenders in the front when turning lol

LCI fenders are plastic so not sure how you will roll them...

Receive it.

They're metal for the E90s.

They can be rolled. They're some sort of composite, not just ABS.

Never heard of ISC, but I would roll. What offsets are your wheels running and what's the diameter? At 35mm your fronts should be fine depending on your tire size.

The wheels are 18x9 with 35 offset, and the tires are 245/35R18's.
When cornering there was a slight rub on the struts in the front, so I opted to get spacers (10mm all around as per recommendations from colleagues).
I may have to drop down to 5mm in the front to accommodate the coilovers :/

Never heard of ISC..... Why not just go with Ohlins or Koni if not Ohlins.....


Ohlins

Guess I'm old but wtf is "send it?"

First of all, I think you need to adjust your PE.. those tiPs are sagging pretty low...

Second, that's not super flush up front, so you may be fine w/out a roll. But regardless, you need to install your suspension first and then decide. Lowering the car will likely add additional negative camber to the wheels, thus bringing in the tops of the tires. Further, your aftermarket suspension's struts may be a different size, thus not requiring the spacers you have to clear.

You never answered my question in your other thread a while back regarding your spacers and if they're even a safe configuration (hub and wheel centric)... I hope they are because I'm tired of sitting in a traffic jam because some a-hole had ill fitting parts on his car causing a wheel to "break off" in the middle of the highway. IIRC, 10mm spacers are NOT LEGIT on E9x's. I suggest going down to 5mm all around, or explore other options.

Why does your exhaust look like it wants to make an escape?

btw what size tires are you running front and rear

Sorry, is use the app and not the website, notifications rarely work on my phone.
The spacers are hun centric, I also ordered them from ECS, the salesman said they're good to go.
I've had to adjust the PE several times, I was planning to adjust it again on Saturday when my bay at work is clear and I have time. The first time I had to adjust it, was after I hit a pothole and the muffler got loose :/
Cheers for the input again!

I hit so many potholes in NJ it sucks. My setup is squared, so 245/35R18 front and rear

No matter how questionable something may be, do it and get it out of the shop. Usually meant as a joke

I appreciate your up-beat attitude, but dude you can't trust a salesman at ECS. They're trying to sell. Yes they make 10mm spacers and offer them for our cars, because "technically" you can get away with it (I guess.. but not IMO). But they're really not the way to go. Even their sister company addresses in that link I posted why they aren't a good idea. Wheel centric is also important and 10mm cannot be that on the E9x. I'd really look into some 5mm spacers if I were you; but I SUPPOSE if you are very careful when installing your wheels, and check your wheel bolts for tightness often, you can get away with it.

GL with that exhaust. I know that adjusting it is a bish. But you gotta represent our community well!

I keep my extra cordless impact gun in the trunk compartment because it has had slight issue before lol
And as for representing the community, I try and take care of it as I notice it (I don't walk behind the car that often) and I'll usually either throw it on a lift at work, or jack it up at home haha
Thank you for the advice and friendliness!

Ohlins R&T aren't that impressive. I would look at other options in that price range.

Have you also thought about camber plates up front? I don't have any rubbing issues with my Ohlins and Vorschlag setup running 18x8.5 with a 235/40. Try a smaller tire when it's time to get new rubber.

Blaspheme! Although I never tried another setup haha, pockets not that deep!

"Send it" is the same as saying, "f*ck it, let it roll out of the shop, drive it and see what happens". It's usually a joke
