wat is the best to lower a sport 40mm or 60mm

if you want to go for looks 60mm, i have mine 60mm and i think it looks the tits.

60mm is fine if you use the correct shocks and decent springs, lots of neg camber which will wear the tyres out alot quicker front and rear

40mm is the best all round option really. It's up to you, is it for looks or handling? do you cover alot of miles? are your suspension bushes sound? lowering will increase the stress on any worn bushes

and 60 is a cu*t if you need to go over speed bumps or back roads.

ditto but i put up with it, just go slow, no biggie!

mines 60mm pal and it needs a new set of rear tyres every 6 month
not good on the wallet! sticks like s#*t to a blanket though!!
im gonna swap mine for 40mm i think.

i like the way you took that picture elliott.

Agreed, looks v

The sport had lowered springs from the factory M tech...the Eibach springs replicate this height but with a better spring and will handle very well...by lowering it any more as stated it may look low but creates camber on the rear and as stated will wear tyres and mean you will also need to replace other parts...therefore will cost a lot more and depending on how you drive not affect any handling that greatly and in fact if you put an inferior spring on could make it worse...personally and I know some will disagree...keep with the BMW setting and leave it at about 30mm...good luck

Or how about 60/40, I have no problems with speed ramps

id say either standard m tech or 60/40 to even it out as the front is normally higher than the rear

i personally would go for 40mm as a maximum, 60mm is a nitemare to live with specially if you have humps round were you live.

does 60mm not pull down the front wing when u turn

Elliot and ill325i - What make suspension are you guys running?

Shouldn't catch the wings if using correct diameter wheel / tyre combo. Although you will need to ensure the "bump stops" are in very good condition . Mine were non existent when I bought the car and pulled the lips on the front wings !

I've gone 40mm all round and im well pleased

not to sure what mine is was on the car when i bought it!!!
i know the shocks are boge as for the springs not got a clue!!!
