Group, I'd like to lower my Ti because it is ridiculously high: http://www.inlacal.com/318ti That being said, I do NOT want the car to have a crappy, non-streetable ride...I'd like the drop to be visibly lower, but not too aggressive...Can anyone recommend a spring manufacturer for these requirements? Thanks, Chris __________________

right now i have vogtlands....they're ok
Eibach is out of production for the Ti, so I am going with H&Rs Sports this summer with new bilstein Sport replacing the Bil Tourings I have now. | | | | | 05-05-2005, 07:16 PM | #3 | | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: Calabasas Posts: 187 | Ride Quality with H&R's??

from what I hear H&R is the best __________________ Mods: clear turn signals, Silverstar headlight bulbs, k&N custom CAI, removed A/C, lightened crank pulley, painted brakes, custom clutch stop, custom strut bar, x-brace, custom solid tranny mounts, Memphis sound system, Sachs sport clutch, B&M short shifter, lightened flywheel, redline MTL ....

From discussions years ago when I joined, I recall the concensus was HR+Koni was the more comfortable Eibach+Bilstein. I think your most common options are stock BMW sport (-.60"), HR Sport (-1.4"/1.0"), BavAuto, Voigtland. Not sure of the drop on Bav or Voigt. Ground Control also makes adjustable coilovers for the ti using Koni or stock sport dampers (drop 0"-3"). If you have 17's and live in SoCAl I think you want more than the stock Sport springs. __________________
