    Vogtland Purple Lowering Springs - $100

    Pulled these off my 318is, previous owner had these installed along with Bilstein Sports apparently not too long ago. I've had the car for almost a year and have replaced the springs with H&R Races because I decided I just absolutely love replacing oil pans :roll:

    Had no problem with oil pans with these so buy these before I change my mind!

    Pickup in Monterey, CA or I can ship them.

    $100+shipping

        I went with H&R Race and e90 drophats to go lower, significantly lower.

        These are about Eibach or H&R Sport height.

          I dont think you really went much lower. My Vogtlands didnt make much of a difference in ride height from my J-stock setup. In spring rate however, HUGE difference.

            MAYBE I exaggerated it a bit, but my exhaust that now contacts the apex of my driveway even harder disagrees completely.

            Also, I never had to stop outside of a parking lot exit to retrieve and put my IS lip back on as often with the Vogtlands as I do with the H&R Race + e90 drophats.

            Here's a before, with the Vogtlands:


            And after (notice the rear tuck):


            And another before:


            And after:


            And that lovely lowered e30 natural rear camber (one of the only ways I could get the "tried and proven" 18mm adapters and style 5s from not rubbing my already rolled fenders, but that's a rant for an eventual build thread):


            Here's a comparison of the front springs - I know the length of the spring doesn't necessarily equal a higher or lower car but,
