ST Lowering Springs

[julianaM42]

Are people running camber kits with these?

I think I have 5"-6" of clearance from what I remember. I'll post a reference picture soon

Has to be much less if you are on a 1.5inch drop...Im on Vogtlands with my 318is and i have around 3.9-4in clearance. Can you post a picture with the car on an even surface? The incline drive way makes it look lower than what it is

[einstein57]

Yea I like the low, but they don't really seem that stiff. And if they droop, I'm gonna have less than 1.5" of travel.

I'm sure these aren't as soft as eibach prokits and they definitely won't lower the car as much. I ran a set with Billie sports and the bumps cut in half and loved it.

How much oil pan clearance do you have?

Here's m cabrio with the 318is springs, E90 drop hats and stagg shocks:



I installed the fronts last week and they have about 80 miles on them and the rears were just finished half hour ago.

First impression, the shock and spring combo is very comfortable ride. I could feel my steer a lot better (there's a grip on the road and the car is responsive). Still needs to be aligned and I'm now in the market for wheels.

Does anyone know how these compare to the Vogland Sport springs on a 318? Curious to know if it is a bit stiffer or drops a it a bit more, at least the front?..

So what? The whole point of buying these is go low and stiff for less $. You should cut them bump stops in half.

What struts are you running?

Some models of Tokico shocks have adjustible dumping, I would think this option alone would be great in matching springs and shocks.

I woud jump on the Tokico deal if I would not have new shocks installed earlier this year.

I'll say it again....so happy with the 318i springs. Not bottoming out. Noticeable stiffness from stock springs but not a harsh ride by any means. Running bilstein sports and that make a difference in my ride quality over some of the other strut/shocks.

Anyone go for the deal that tokico is having or ever have used them? Very curious because that it one hell of a deal.

My drop evened out a lot. After 3 days of driving they havent really dropped anymore, partly because I believe I'm on my bumpstops up front. Good springs if you dont like suspension travel.

Yea I will as soon as I have time, but I'm worried its gonna droop even more once they're cut.

Jonny you know youre supposed to cut your bumpstops right?
