Any lowering springs for e92 ZSP, 1" drop front, 0.5" drop rear?

Tag · 03-17-2011, 06:34 PM

Anyone know who makes lowering springs that are compatible with ZSP sport shocks that drop the car 1" in the front and 0.5 in the rear? I don't want H&R springs, they are too harsh and blow out the shocks prematurely.

Thanks

The Eibach Pro Kit is a less aggressive lowering spring that offers Front: 1.0 in Rear: 0.8 in. However, aftermarket springs will by nature increase wear on your factory shocks as they have a stiffer spring rate that puts more stress on the factory shock valve.

This causes the shocks to wear prematurely and is not specific to any one aftermarket spring manufacturer. However, the stiffer the spring, the quicker the shock will go.

Is that drop you'd get with ZSP or the standard suspension?

that's the drop on the standard suspension. From all the pics the eibachs hardly drops the car much with zsp.

From the pics I seen the eibachs seem to give a pretty decent drop... anybody know what the exact numbers are?
