want moar low
Anyone know how to make an e92 lower than one with just H&R springs. I was thinking about a custom bag set-up but I heard bags aren't reliable worth a shit. I don't think I wanna heat or cut the springs cause I don't think BMW's deserve that, but who knows

Coils aren't bad and will be cheaper than bags. I'm installing my bag setup next week

if you dont get a bs bag setup, they are perfectly fine.
otherwise, coils, or as you mentioned, cut the springs a bit. |

Sorry but whoever told you bags don't last are idiots. If you installed them incorrectly they won't last and that's the only way it won't. Buses ride on bags for god knows how long every single day and they dont have problems. I myself had bags in my last car and never an issue. Clearance and installation is key, that's it.

Thanks for the 411, guys. Would you guys recommend a brand for not just the bags but other components as well? This might just be my next project

Universal air for the bags. Check if they have a kit for our car and also you can do a hybrid setup like I had, which uses a coils and bags. I forgot the diameter that the shock body has to be but you can call them and ask.

Yea so are mine, so u must have race springs. Race springs give u a 2" drop in the front and 1.5" drop in the rear. I don't know what color the sport springs are but they only give u a 1.5" drop in the front and 1" drop in the rear. If u want anything lower your gonna have to go wit coilovers or bags like everyone else is sayin
