well the manufacturer states 80mm lowering in the front.. if you use the e90 tophats (like im doing, $21 at local BMW dealer) it would be 90mm. - 90 = 3.5 inches.. so an entire inch lower than your setup. if your setup uses stock diameter springs you could use the e90 tophats on your current setup for another 10mm drop. The main reason for spending the $400 is the adjustability

edit: nvm - just noticed you have the 15mm drop hats, so you could use those on the JOM setup for 95mm total drop. which is just under 3.75"

Thanks for the definitive answer! Any idea how much the vert springs reduce the lowering capabilities?

Yeah, you can definitely go lower in the front with the JOM's. Throw some GC's out back OR, rock the mutant JOM/IE3 combo and have a nice riding vehicle. The springs rates will be a tad off but, 'eh.

^^ I was kind of considering that, running the IE/billy sport combo out back, but I think I'd wanna sell it all together

i have the coupe springs, and they are plenty stiff in the rear.. i actually hope they bed in a little and get a tad softer.. right now i am a bit underdamped (the rear is a tad bouncy). Im also not slammed (yet) the rear is about 3/4" from the bottom of the adjuster..

I purchased the vert springs.

They came out within a month and GC's went in the rear. BUT, I have an early model. On the two late model cars I've installed these on, the regular springs are just fine. I had some very serious binding issues in the rear as well. The front's are fine. The rears are soft.

I'd put the front springs at 500lb-'ish and the rears at ~300lb.

Thanks, no one has commented after purchasing the vert set so its still unknown unless I over looked. Did you purchase the vert or coupe coilover set?

[Crinale]

hows the ride? soft or stiff?

i currently only have the rear done (did it today, took about 3 hours, including a trip to o'reilleys) and the rear is nice and stiff, ill comment on the fronts when i get them done in a few days

[Crinale]

interested, payment information? I'd also like the vert setup if it's a stiffer setup for my 325 coupe.

from what ive heard on these threads, the vert springs are stiffer, but stiffer means it cant go as low either.

whats the exact spring rateS?

[mattdk318i]

Is this still going? Im interested

[Den_k321]

these things can go as low as your skid plate and lip can, { to the ground....}
on mine, its iphone sideways from skid plate to the floor, and i can still drop way more... but its touching everything already... cant drive up to my garage...

Any real answers on exactly HOW low they go? In inches? Because if they only go 3" lower, it wouldn't be worth another $400 to only go 1/2" lower up front..
