off center M3 CAB's.

Wait Wishno87, so your saying you are sitting on M3 springs, that stance is good enough for me, are the Tokico's short = Billy Sport or long = Billy HD?

Question on M3 springs is how do you know if you have good used set?

Ya they are just stock M3 springs. Im pretty sure the shocks are just the standard length and thats why they died so fast.

This is how its sitting right now. Gap looks bigger because of slightly undersized tires.



Worthybrother that would be great! LMK

I just happened to be what was at hand.

For about 2 years ran KYB Gas-o-matics with Eibach Prokit springs, they held, then use them again when back to oem height.

Drop is not that severe, no belly rubs on p.lot.

Thanks :)

No they can't be redrilled, just ship them to me....

Something I came across today, the M3 springs seem to be shorter than H&R sport springs? Is that true? I don't want to lower my car too much as I drive it in NY/NJ streets/pot holes.

Heheheh, been here for about 2 years and it seems like I'm stayin.
Bringing Delphi over and giving Zinno to my brother in NY, hope he wont slide out. Lol.

Those are M3 springs that went into Zinno.

Take a piece of paper and place across screen, just above ding strip, look at where rims upper lips meet the paper,
looks like Whisno87 and I came to same results, he's running 15's, right ?

Hahahah, found them years ago at a pick-a-part.

I'm confident that m3's will be ok from the B.Q.E to the L.I.E 8)

The gold ones? As long as there is a flat surface on the front to re drill and the rear mounting surface is flat im pretty sure you can. Its just hard to find a shop to do it. No one local would do them for me.

[Tricked 323i]

Bump!

if i run the Bavauto springs with an after Billi sports shocks, would i have any rubbing issues with a 16x8 offset?

That might be pushing it. I might have posted this before but here is my setup bille/bavs 15X7 et 25 225/50 rears 205 fronts.
I would be concerned about the rears.

Kevin, are your rocker's color matched to your car? Its hard to tell in this picture but it looks like it. If so, do you have a better picture to post? I have always thought of doing this too. Sorry for the off topic post.
