ST Lowering Springs

[Jszy25]

Did you get the right springs?

I believe so. I bought them a while ago through the ebay seller that was linked at the beginning of the thread.

What size wheels do you have? It's probably because late model wheel arches go lower in the rear

I have e38 style 5's (16x 8 )

Did you keep all the spring pads in place? Take out the fronts or put the rears back in depending on what you did. Could help a bit.

Yes, all pads are in place still front and rear. If I'm taking apart the front again, coils will be cut. That will fix the height issue.

Installed my springs on my 91 318is the other day and the rear looks decent, but the front is waay too high. I hate it. I have the e90 drop hats also, but it looks terrible with the reverse rack.

I am going to have to change them out or cut at least one coil. I hate to go the ghetto route, but I have to do something about it.

only pictures I could find...
before- hr sport oe stock hats


after st springs, e90 drop hats



I had a 3 finger gap with the oe now I have a 2 finger gap
so it wasn't much of a difference but worth it :D


ill get better pictures

[///digitalme]

I finally installed these...only in the front though
im running the st in the front and hr sport oe in the back...
it lowered my car 1/2 an inch more than the sport oe...they aren't
as stiff as races, they feel really similar to hr sport with a little more drop...
handles great so far I have e90 drop hats in the front ill try to get a picture

Now that I got my car in working order the height looks great but I'm disappointed by the ride quality in the rear. Just too bumpy for my taste as I'm still having whiplash neck issues from my car accident from 5 years ago.
I shouldn't run into any issues if I stick my stock 325e springs back in there, eh?

I've decided to leave the springs in as I've gotten accustomed to the ride. Also, Celebrex does wonders.
I've added in dpring pads in the rear to get rid of some reverse rake as well.

Ran an ice race (that was more of a mud race) with the St springs. They were great, being stuff enough to control body roll and prevent bottoming out over bumps, but soft enough to not be jarring.

The rear feels much stiffer than 285#. They feel very close to H&R race and those are 570 in the rear.
