Hello, my name is Chris and I live in arizona. I purchased a 1995 ti about 3 weeks ago and am loving the car. Working out a few kinks but shouldn't be too bad. The only things I have done were maintenance and I lowered the car as well. Next will be some interior fixes then suspension and wheels and tires. |  |  | | 03-10-2015, 04:19 AM | #2 | | Junior Member Join Date: Mar 2015 Location: yuma az Posts: 11 |

welcome brother, Congrats on your purchase. Looks to be in good condition. What springs and shocks did you lower the car on?  __________________

Some eibach springs a buddy had laying around off his 325i. it's not in to bad of condition. She had a really bad miss. No codes. Cleaned iac, maf, tps, cam and crank sensors, new plugs, fresh oil. Only thing I can think of is the coil pack. So I ordered a new one. Should be here Friday and I hope that fixes it. I really enjoy the 35mpg I was getting.

Ya. Still lowered a 1 3/4 front and 1 1/4 rear. Lol | | | | | 03-11-2015, 03:55 AM | #9 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2015 Location: NYC Queens Posts: 225 |

I checked on TireRack and Eibach springs drop a 325i 1.3" both front and rear and you're telling me it dropped your 318ti 1.75" front and 1.25" rear? How's that? Did you know that the Eibach springs from your buddy's 325i would give your 318ti that nice rake drop? Can you take more side pics please? __________________

Idk how it did It. We measured from the fender to the ground before and after. I'm guessing my struts are wore the hell out and when I get new ones it will raise more. I'll take some more pics here shortly. | | | | | 03-11-2015, 05:50 PM | #11 | | Junior Member Join Date: Mar 2015 Location: yuma az Posts: 11 |
Also as a 1 1/2 front. My bad. | | | | |
