After running for a couple of months on st M3 springs with e90 drophats on my 325, I've decided to ditch the drophats when I swap the shocks. The drophats add a little too much rake, with too little suspension travel before hitting the bump stops.

But they are not up for a best offer, just a bid auction, and there is $59 shipping (to me at least in SC).

just reading this now, now it's too late, I went with IE stage 3 springs. What are drop hats? I'll probably get one if if drops the car even more, and btw, does anyone knows where I can get a 1/4 inch (thinner) pad for the rear springs?

I want to see how much of a difference the drop hats make after it settles

1" drop on every corner, but I haven't driven it and the fronts just went in last night. So I expect to see another 1/4" - 1/2" drop over the next month or so.

I have been in Contact with KW North America. One of my Shocks are returning very slowly (Im talking several minutes). They told me that this is common but if I would like to pay shipping back to KWA NA they would refill the shock with nitrogen. Im trying to find out if this is the appropriate response yet.

I have also linked this thread, when I mentioned we had thread dedicated to their Ebay store they showed interest. Maybe they will digg around the old stock and see if there are any more springs for our car laying around.

That would be sweet! Keep us posted.
