Default Pic Request/Advice

hey guys, I want to get some lowering springs for my 95' ti, im thinking of going the H&R sports, i want a pretty good, clean drop. (not super slammed)

i was wondering if anyone had a pic of a 318ti with the H&R sports installed. so i could see the drop.

or, if there is any other spring set that would be better. because i dont plan to spend alot of money on this car, because it will be a daily driver.

soooo ANY advice would help.


thanks in advance

1.4/1.0 for H&R Sports.

I'd also get some Koni Sports, so you can adjust the dampeners to what you want...soft to hard.

I have H&R race and some Bilstein's installed on my car and the ride is nice and drop its not to much (although mine sits about .25 inches higher due to the entire interior being removed). I'll try and take/post some shots when I get home from work today.
