Drop Hats.....

[getouth]

I installed the same set up as you lowtech 60/50 with E90 drop hats. No modifications, its only been 50 or so miles but so far so good.

thanks for the responds guys. Will be getting them soon.

Only had mine in for like 2 weeks, put them in just like stock E30 pieces with the thick E30 washer between the hat and (brand new Sachs) upper mount. No binding issues at all. I didn't remove anything off the bottom of the hat with a BFH, maybe I should have though because i am still trying to get the front lower.

Figured I would add my experience. Somehow I missed this stickied thread when doing my own research on these hats before buying them.

I put them in 100% stock - didn't add or take anything away.

I've been running e90 drop hats since 2011-ish with no issues.

Did you use washer ? I bought lowtec springs 60/50, while at there I am planning to throw in drop hats. Should I use the existing washer or get another one for e90 drop hat.

I recently installed drop hats with H&R sports and Billy sports. No issues with binding whatsoever.

any updates on long term user. After reading all pages, it seems like we have to put washer to avoid any binding.

Drop Hats.....

So I took my stock hats out all together.. Anyone ever tried this? How bad will it f** up the rubber bushing? I live on a small island so I don't see any highways or long road trips.

Cheers

So no pic's of the grinding issues against the strut tower? I'll be ordering the e90 hats and the washer that's suppose to be between the drop hat and bearing. Hopefully there wont be fitment issues. I'd also like to add that I too read all 18 pages.

Also, is this the piece you hit off with your BFH

I'm running a set of e90 drop hats on mine. No seating issues with the h&r race springs. Has anyone run the e90 drop hat with the GC touring camber plates? I'm getting incomplete info after exhaustive searching.

BMW List pricing is always fluctuating, at the moment they are bmw-list $13.77 each.

Try telling them you know what the current list price (quoting price above). If that doesn't work then call a different local dealer or just order them from just about any respected online retailer.

[Dukereturns]

My dealer just quoted me $25 EACH for these. Is that right?

Bought some drop hats today, just gotta wait till I can afford some other suspension components before I get them installed.

H&R E36 M3 springs and E90 hats on the front, in my sig picture.

2: 14 pages of insults, bitching, arguing, and general butthurtness.

If they didn't work, there would be 100 pages of butthurtness.
