ST Lowering Springs

Also remember the springs are for a 318is. you have an early model which have a higher wheel arch thus giving you that rake look. Remove the pads should help even it out.

Thanks for the advice

post pics when you remove the rear spring pads.

Ok heres the pics with the pads out, drove it around the block a few times to try and get it settled.

[Bimmerguy91]

cant really tell because the pics are from a different perspective than before but it looks like it evened out some? What do you think? BTW what size are your wheels and tires

[clintbmw07]

i think it leveled out and 205/55 r15. Ive been trying to find someone that wants to straight trade for them but no luck yet.

Ah ok Im running 195/50/15 on a 15x8 haha

[clintbmw07]

yeah the rims are my least favorite part about my car. What rims do you think would look good?

[Bimmerguy91]

Im running XXR 002 right now and love them. I also really like the XXR 531. That is as far as cheap wheels go. I have some expensive wheels that I love but cant afford. Any kind of BBS RS replica looks sweet too

Anyone know if these springs would be too stiff for KYBs?

[clintbmw07]

yeah well thanks, hopefully i can find some sort of rims.

Most likely too much of drop for them.

You can use them on the kyb's till they blowout in like a month.

KYB's are not made to run with lowering springs. I wouldn't run them with anything lower than M3 springs.
