Need help with coil overs HELP!!

snooz3 · 11-15-2013, 01:46 PM

Hello all i am new to the BMW scene i have had a BMW 335D m sport for a few months now.

Basically i am after putting this car as low to the floor as possible ( yes i no it ruins handling and causes excessive wear etc etc ... )

basically i was wondering which brand of coil overs can potentially make the car as low as i possibly want it, i need about 60-100mm

in america you can buy bc extreme low package coil overs however i am from the UK and it is proving to be a problem to find the coil overs that are right for me i have about £800 budget and i do not want cheap such as FK and JOM as i have ran these before on previous cars and they were terrible, thanks

Bilstein PSS 10 and throw on some Camber Plates. That's going to be some serious low though. thought about running bags instead?

I know that feeling. I love the look of a slammed ride, but the convenience of bags. Once this thing is paid off, it'll probably end up being my first major mod. Either that or a half cage.

Good luck finding what works for you man. She's going to look good regardless.

Yeah only says 335i

would this make a difference?

Ouch, you're running an E92.... That part I'm not sure. Personally, I don't see why, but with BMW, who knows. They're open right now, feel free to give them a call and see if they can tell you. Either that, or pull up the Bilstein website and see if it'll tell you.

Okay thanks for your help, is it worse for lowering having e92 then?

Instead of the coilovers since they run high priced go with H&R sport springs for that low look or Race springs for that slammed look.
Sport springs allow you to run on your stock struts. Race springs require an aftermarket strut.
For the price and look the Sport are my favorite.

Thank you very much, from the figures given it looks like BC BR still go as low as these so for me they will be a better option.
