whats the deal with IX fitment?

[einstein57]

I don't know any ix owners. The people i know who had them never followed through. I don't think their is very much interest in the ix community. Most are not interested in going low because of the potential hazard of damaging the front axles.

Put mine on yesterday

[oliver.r]

would these fit a m3 strut housing? I think yes?

[oliver.r]

also, how much lower could I get compared to race springs?

[einstein57]

Here they are installed on a customers car with camber plates. I think they had another 3/4" to go up front.

[oliver.r]

my eyes might be deceiving me but that looks about the same as race springs no?

Turbo?

Was this the car from the kid in Miami who wasn't able to put it back together after painting the GTS orange? If it is kudos to you guys, car looks awesome!

I'm not too familiar with how the h&r races sit on an m3. They do allow the possibility of going a little lower then races. But at the lowest setting you will be on bumps tops.

That m3 has a boosted s52 turbo and was just painted. Same customer has them on his s54 m3 and his s54 supercharged e30 with e30 m3 suspension.

I was driving on a few winding roads this past weekend, and it really made me appreciate this setup...

I have GE Coils all the way down in front and .9" from all the way down in back, Billy sports with cut bumpstops, cheap dirty camber plates, and offset CABs.

I used to have the same setup with H&R Race, and I found I would bottom out up front on practically any bump that was anything more than small. The front spring rate on those was definitely not picked with a 6-cyl car in mind.

With the 450lb GE springs up front, the car rides and feels a ton better. I don't even bottom out on the larger bumps I hit, and the whole car feels so much more planted. I also don't need to space my upper spring perch down from the camber plate for clearance like I did for the stock perch, so the front sits lower, but has more shock travel.

For the same price, this is a way better option than any of the oem-diameter spring options out there, even if you're not into cutting your housings.

Sorry for the rant, but I'm really impressed with how they turned out.
