I was thinking that I might want to lower mine but to be honest, it looks pretty low already ( unless the previous owner has already lowered it! ) Does anyone know how much lower they are compared to a standard model?

Usually aftermarket springs are a color other than black. Same with the shocks/struts. Look at the suspension and tell us what color it is. __________________ ~Dave~ 98 328ti Morea Grun slicktop 11 128i space gray slicktop 13 JGC WK2 Deep Cherry Search | RealOEM | | | 12-01-2008, 06:09 AM | #8 | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2008 Location: Austin Posts: 3,059 | Looks like a sport, with 1.3" drop? If you're still interested in lowering it more, i'll be glad to buy your current ones. __________________ Come get a ti-shirt Quote: From the e30 M3, evolved the e36.

I have seen tis on aftermarket "sport" springs (~1.3" drop) and the rears are almost tucking while the front has about a finger width gap. That definitely looks like OE sport to me. There are plenty of ways to go lower shonky, the only question is how low do you want to go? __________________ ~Dave~ 98 328ti Morea Grun slicktop 11 128i space gray slicktop 13 JGC WK2 Deep Cherry Search | RealOEM | | | 12-01-2008, 09:23 PM | #11 | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2008 Location: Austin Posts: 3,059 | Quote: Originally Posted by shonky I do want it to go lower.....id love to sell you my springs but I would imagine postage from the UK to the US would be pretty expensive!!! | Give me a price that I can't refuse Quote: Originally Posted by spidertri Not sure what you mean 1.3" drop.
