yea i hear ya just sayin:)

[squidmaster]

hah, no way am I going back to cut springs... terrible ride and way too low for where I live and the driving that I do.

[e30ballin]

shit put those cut springs on the back! that would level it out for sure! hopefully the springs wont fall out when your drivin though :???:

[squidmaster]

yeah, that's looking like the only way to go.... I emailed 'em; hope to hear back.

[e30ballin]

it squeaks sometimes.. lol idk im happy with the way the front of my car sits now that i have drop hats. i think im just gonna buy some rear springs :?

[squidmaster]

looks a lot better without the pads in, but I have pads all around... well, sans the rear-lower pads (didn't come with the car... :( )
do you have rattles/issues with having the pads removed?

checked their site again to make sure and here are the only models offered.

i hate how my car sits... its got rake. my spring pads are out...

[squidmaster]

vert are heavier, that might have something to do with the gap your pointing out.

that's what I thought, but the part # is the same either way. Unless they just didn't feel like making another number for the other cars...

[squidmaster]

snagged a quick picture @op

[mr.vang]

checked the box again.
noticed that it says "cabrio" on it.
don't think that it's any different for the vert models, though, right?

edit: part number is same for all models (excl iX)

i got the same springs and i have the same problem!

[squidmaster]

hah, sorry

[bmwguy325is]

I didnt think youd take me serious. You would have to run Coilover spring perches they are 2.5inch springs. Also they are 750s.

[squidmaster]

right? I think that's going to be how I'll have to go...
price? spring rate?

I don't really want to spend more money, but if I have to.
