Request for M3 ZCP Pictures on stock springs, but with Spacers

CrazyWitness · 02-01-2017, 08:37 PM

Any one have pictures of M3 ZCP on stock springs but with Spacers? (because of shitty road in my area not sure that I can go lower but would like my car to looks "lowered" and wider with just Spacers)

Would like to see more of them

imo, spacers w/o a drop is not needed. I understand about bad roads, Chicago isn't the best, but many here r dropped on coilovers and springs w/o much problems. the key is to have enough enough space from cat in front of u to see potholes.

I would recommend spacers and Eibach springs for a very mild drop but gets rid of that hideous front gap.

The problem for me will be to go over bumps (I have 5 of them on my way work/home) and driveways for store and to my house is pretty high...

I see. I have to go over a few speed bumps everyday to and from work as well but I cannot stand that huge front gap. I'm going be pretty low and if I have to remove my front lip because of the drop than so be it. to each their own of course. to me, a nice drop makes the car.

I have Swift Springs and 12mm spacers all around ready to be installed, but looks like I will have to sell it or go just with spacers, will recheck couple more times if I have some cleaners go over my driveway with lowering, but so far would like to see more pictures Spacers and stock hight

Swift springs is a good drop, why not do Eibach?

Drop is too small not worth changing for me, with Swift looks much better in my opinion.

Here's mine.

Not lowered yet...still in two minds. The rear is ok...front wheel/arch gap is too high for my liking!

lighten and zoom the pic for u

CrazyWitness · 02-04-2017, 03:35 AM

I picked up my car today, and I think gap is not that bad, I most likely will do 12mm spacers rear and front, and will not lower it.

Anyone have more pics to share? This is the route I'm thinking now since receiving advice from a shop against lowering my car here in NYC.
