....for a 325i Sport ?

I've just put a 30mm H&R kit on my car and I'm not sure if I should change the springs to standard ride height cos I'm not sure if its too low ?

Cheers

I was told that the amount aftermarket kits lower by is taken from standard non mtech suspension. Mtech suspension is 15mm lower than standard, so in theory a -30mm kit will lower a Sport by 15mm.

Right, just measured mine (ooo er) and its 290 at the back and 310 at the front so it's not as low as it looks maybe.

Time to put my standard wheels with semi balloon tyres on :D
