      Want a serious drop without a serious hit to the wallet? Get the H&R Cup Kit. Typically priced around the $650-$700 range. They (H&R) advertise a 2.1" drop with this kit. That will put your car down pretty low to the ground. If you go with this, watch the bumps or you will be re-modeling your oilpan in no time.

        i have a 325i and i wanted the same thing as you but i ended up reading and learning that its a pretty dumb idea to skimp on money on your suspension becuase your life depends on it and even if you find cheap springs you still need need shocks which cost like 600 lololo11!1one but i ended up getting gcs and it cost alot but its worth it and im happy and if you read this whole thing now you know how it feels to have to read someones post if they dont use punctuation

          If you want to make your point, dont lie about costs of shocks/springs. Not even Koni yellows are 600 bucks..... maybe shipped and that's only if you're getting ripped off.

          I got my whole setup, Ireland Engineering Stage 3 springs and Bilstein Sport shocks, brand new, for $650 shipped.

          Either going with springs/shocks or GCs is a wise decision. You either save a lot of money, or you have the ability of tuning your car the way you want it, requesting your own spring rates and setting your ride height as you like it. In the end, you get what you pay for

            When I bought my Konis they were $169 a shock. $169 x 4= $676 + 7.75% = $728.39

            I got a 10% discount on the shocks...so...
            $169 - 10%= approx... $152 x 4= $608 + 7.75%= $655.12

            $600+ for Konis is not lying. :roll:

              Hmm... I havent kept up with the prices lately but from people I would hear it would cost ~500-550 for Konis.

              Misinformation sucks.

                Wow, you guys really need to learn how to look. Try a search. Koni SAs for m3, 318, and 325ic are only $450. 325i/e, etc.. are ~$475

                    Group buy is pointless.

                    EDIT:
                    M3, 318ic, and 325ic are $450
                    318i, 325i/e is $474

                      I dont keep up with the prices and I just post what I hear from others. Thanks for backing up the claim though.

                      Here's my 30 second search:
                      rwdrift: yo
                      rwdrift: how much did you pay for the Konis?
                      rwdrift: shipped?
                      aero8GT: 5 something
                      aero8GT: what's the price on shox
                      aero8GT: that's what i paid
                      rwdrift: fucking guess a number
