No service for his iPhone, pics are to come tomorrow.

Bilstein sports and ST 318i springs(1.3 drop). Took pics of stock height, spring height difference and before and after shots of the car.

325is with the 318i springs, removed all the spring pads.
HONESTLY dropped 2" or so.

2" that was before we even drove them, once we came back to the shop to inspect the car it was quite a bit lower than pictured above.

My mother owns an e30 with Bilstein sports and H&R race springs. These are INSANELY close to the same feedback and reaction in turns. For 70.00 shipped you would be a fool to not buy these.

The drive home was so damn smooth it was unreal.

Can't wait to install mine. Need a set of billy sports for the front still!

Your old suspension was a fucking joke xD the 84 spec inserts and blown like no other. Was like driving a bucking horse lol

Cant wait to see pics of the car once everything settles in. Im definitely gonna use drop hats and no spring pads. Glad to hear the springs ride and handle nice

Giddy up!

I was going over the numbers in my sleep somehow and woke up realizing i should have a complete suspension refresh coming in at just under 1000.

Yup, do you still want me to make you a list? I went over the front end while you were working on those rear shocks.

Including the Bilstein sports and ST springs I know you can get the rest done for under 1k including those.

Meyle arms, sway links, new vert sway bushings, and see if those Z3 tie rods work. I would snag a set of e90 spring hats for another 15mm of drop in the front.

[Bimmerguy91]

The reason mine aren't installed yet is because my entire suspension steering and brakes are getting an overhaul. Meyle 7 piece control arm kit, bilstein shocks and ST springs with e90 drop hats, new 325i brakes, stainless brake lines, rear disc brake swap, poly rear bushing kit and a 4.10 LSD. Should be a unbelievable improvement

The day after....

How come they aren't green like they are supposed to be?
