      I think I might get some...

      What shock/struts are you using? drop hats? Pads?

        Bilstein sports no pads front or rear, no drop hats but he could use them. You gain 1/2 more without pads.

          E90 drop hats are necessary with these for an even appearance.

              BTW I love the olive drab green looks really cool. If you need that side trim piece I can ship you one

                Thanks! I'm pretty pumped how it turned out. Mixed the color out of 2 different rustoleums. A vast improvement over what was on there.

                Shoot me a about the trim piece though!

                  I have factory springs on my 92 325i vert. I'd like some low, but I don't want to lose too much ride quality cause I have my three little kids (3, 3 and 6 years old) with me a lot. Which of these would lower it the least?

                  1.3 inch drop on a 318...what do you reckon it would be on my 325ic? I have about 2 inches of wheel well gap in the front now.

                  FrankenB, did you get yours on?

                  Thanks.

                    No, but I hope to have them on today. Just the fronts, that is. So quit bothering me, I've got "do work" to do. ;)
