Hi Guys,

I need help in lowering my 318i cabby, any ideas what springs i should get? the car does have an m-tech 2 kit. :)

I would like a lowered look but with a not so bumpy ride..if you guys know what i mean. :D

Are gas shocks any good?

Any advise and costs would be helpful as would place of purchase.

cheers, tripper 8O

Eibach springs and bilstein gas shocks give a nice stance without being too low or harsh.
