    Spax Springs???

    Does anyone have any opinions on Spax lowering springs. Are they any good? Are they shit?

    I want to lower my car maybe 1.5", just enough to clean it up. They make a kit that will lower it 1.5" front and rear, just never heard of them.

    I have a spax kit on my car and I am very pleased with it. It is still quite a bit stiffer than stock after about 8 months so far.
    sorry about the small pics.

      thanks for the info. I found some from nopi online for like $130 plus shipping.

      How much lower did you go on your car?

        I lowered the front 2.5" and the rear 1.5".

        It is a nice drop, but I have to be careful because my oil pan is so low.

              Find the conversion and do the math. Btw, 1 inch ~ 2.2cm

                abotu 2.5" drop. I love it and it's a 318i with the steel lower oil pan so no worry's about craking it unless I hit something realy hard.

                          No experience with the springs, but its good to see a fellow Louisianian (if thats a real word) on the board. :D
