Should I lower my iS?

[senna]

The handling is perfect on original springs and new Bilstein shocks.

I would just like the front a bit lower, without harshness etc.

Springs or strut caps?

What softish springs would you advise?

It's my work car so nothing too hard!

[bss325i]

Eibach 35mm springs.

What bilsteins do you have fitted?

Eibach 35mm springs.

What bilsteins do you have fitted?

Got B6's on.

I think Eibach is the way forward.

Got H+R coilovers on one of my cars which is not bad.

Spax I find a bit OEM

Might affect your insurance in an adverse way if you lower it.

That iS doesn't look to me like it's on standard sport suspension.
Maybe it's had the wrong front springs fitted somewhere along the way over the last 20 years.

sumps are your enemy when going lower than say -35mm

standard -15mm mtech springs with 16" wheels on 45 profile tyres



and on 14" with balloon profile tyres

maybe she is lower then hard to tell as they look standard rusty brown hahaha.

I don't mean lower. It looks higher than standard 'sport.'

[magpie]

it looks more hi-lux than low-lux

[snowmaan]

sorry Brian i was hung over and read your post wrong thought you said mine was higher
ooh beer is bad. im never drinking again.

[senna]

I put it on 205 50 15's
The springs have blue/green dots on so I think it is just the tyre profile

[DHFiS]

Mine measures 625mm from the road to the top of the arch at the front and 590mm at the rear.
The tyres are 205/55/15

Thank you!
61.5 cm front
58cm back.

I may lower it by 10 mm at the front and leave the back.
