Can e90 be Lower?

213e90n51 · 07-25-2020, 02:02 AM

This is the driveway almost at full lock of my new place. I want Bilstein B12 Prokit but im scared i might scrape. Do you think I can do it?

Thats a average size business card leaning on my side skirt.

If that's base suspension I wouldn't be surprised if it would scrape on the B12 kit. You could get something like sliplo or scrape armor for the front bumper and DIY some sideskirt extensions so they can be disposable

even at a weird angle or turning it does fine but with b12 kit i wonder if it would scrape because its a small drive way and quite steep.

I have H&R lowering springs and I have about 5" clearance for the front bumper and 4.5" for the side skirts. I have to be careful going over speed bumps because if I go too fast I can bottom out with the rebound.

As for the front, I haven't experienced too much scraping going over most driveways.
