Can I lower my 316i on its current shocks?

[MooZ]

I'm wanting to lower my 316i by about 60mm, not sure exact set up yet maybe 60front 40 rear? - Any recommendations

I was wondering could I lower it this much on current shocks, by just purchasing lowering springs or would this be a bad option?

I don't really want to fork out loads for proper coilys and not sure wether I trust the cheap Jamex spring/shock kits...

Better option would be to get uprated shocks and springs as a package. You could lower on current shocks (40mm max i reckon) but might not ride too well.

Try hottuning, full kit for around £140

ah okay I'll try them, have you used them in the past are they OK? Are they on ebay or should I search for their site online? Thanks for the reply

I've got their kit fitted on my cabby, worked and drove well when fitted. Was firm but not harsh.

They are a Trader on here, check out the Tader/Group Buy Section of the forum

my old 318 was lowered 60mm all round on standard shocks, no problems at all, bit soft but looked the part anyway haha

Really? did it bottom out much? if that's the case I might just go for some springs as I'm not really bothered about sporty handling as it's only a 316, just want it to look the part...

Is that how low it sits on -60mm in your signature?

Also what springs were they?

just realised, i was talking about my black 318i, but yes, my current e30 in my sig is 60mm on standard shocks aswell, it sits low, looks very also handles spot on but just be careful over speedbumps, I think they are Pi springs but not 100%

Bilstein B4 shocks only cost about £140 all round at ECP.
