I lowered my sport using a brand new H n R kit less than 3000 miles ago... I am pretty happy with the look but its too low for me to enjoy the drive... its the 60 40 kit by the way...

I am thinking of changing it... how low is the maximum that doesn't ruin the drive too much and what springs and shocks would you suggest...

Thanks

You could get 35mm h&r springs

Would I need to change the shock's as these ones were part of the cup kit...

Thanks

Just drove my mates totally standard sport and the drive is so much more comfortable...

Looks like thats the route i'm gonna take, just hope original mtec 2 springs and shocks dont cost too much from BMW.

iv got some original springs if you want?

About twice as much as a -35mm Eibach/B8 Bilstein kit would cost. You'd be better off going to ECP/GSF.

Are you serious... is the eibach bilstein setup you mentioned still provide a comfortable drive... I find the standard set up most comfortable...

The 60 40 set up I'm currently using is annoying when driving on the roads around where I live. It looks good I guess but I think I'm getting too old for the lowered look.

Thanks

I find it comfortable, but it is still about 10mm lower than the OEM MTech setup and has stiffer shocks. £577.52 inc

IIRC £600 gets you the springs from BMW.

EDIT:
oops, it looks like they've switched from Eibach springs to HnR in the B12 kits. My recommendation was made on the basis of Eibach springs which are a bit softer..... you might want to check out getting some generic MTech springs and some B4 dampers from GSF.

Cheers fella...

600 quid for just m tec springs... or with shocks?

Hi what's the general opinion on h and r lowering springs 25 mm. What shocks would be ideal for these springs?

Thanks
