My bmw is a 2008 335i coupe with sport package. Thinking of adding 19 MORR VS8.2,vmr v710, or Forgestar f14 on Michelin Pilot Super Sport. 245F/275or295. Was wondering if that would make my ride higher? Also was thinking of lowering my car and was wondering how that works and what you recommend thanks.

The 19's shouldn't make your car taller, assuming you use proper sized tires. Regarding the drop. There are a TON of options. You can do just springs, you can do a kit like the B12 (which I have on mine) or coil overs.

The B12 hasn't given me the drop I was looking for (considering that we both have the sport kit). Keep that in mind, spring companies lists drops from the Standard suspension, not the sport.

I'll be changing out my springs on my B12 to the H&R Race springs... Should give me the low that I'm looking for personally.

I have 19in Eurospeed wheels on 2007 coupe. You will likely need 265/40/19 for the rear. So diameter of the wheel/tire combination will be impacted by the side wall height of the tire or aspect ratio "40". My suggestion is to get the tires and wheels and then see if you want to lower it.

If you take a look at my garage, you'll see how she sits now. I haven't bought the H&R Springs yet, but i'll post them as soon as I have them and get them installed.

Regarding the Bilstein B12 kit. I like it. It's springs and shocks that were specifically designed together. It's firmer than the sport shocks, but more controlled and feels tighter. Again, it didn't give me the low that I was looking for, which is why I'm going to be switching out the springs. It's a great everyday driving height, but where I live, the roads aren't bad so I want her lower.

The B12 was a little over $800 when I bought it. You can catch it on sale here and there. Turnermotorsports.com has it for $830 for an E92 right now.

Springs will range depending on the manufacture. Be prepared to spend between $2-300., plus install if you don't do it yourself. And that doesn't include the shocks/struts. You have a lot of choices on your hand. I'd recommend doing some research to find what you really want.

Correct, it'll feel better. At least in my opinion.

Good luck viewing the garage on mobile. I don't know how. On the actual website though, under my name, you'll see "Garage List" and a link that lists my car. It'll take you to my garage.
