ST Lowering Springs

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

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

[Bimmerguy91]

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

[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.

[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]

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

[Bimmerguy91]

post pics when you remove the rear spring pads.

[clintbmw07]

Thanks for the advice

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.

[clintbmw07]

Well I took that picture on the first day. They have settled a little more but do you think removing the spring pads would help even it out?

[glnr13]

also, is your ebrake up in that photo?

In all cases, rear springs take longer to settle, the drop in the back will be more apparent after a week.
Also, the car seems to be on uneven ground, making false impression on the drop.

[Bimmerguy91]

Part of your problem may be that since the springs are designed for a 318is and you have a 325 the extra weight of the i6 is making it rake forward more than usual

[clintbmw07]

Thanks ill try that tonight.

[Bimmerguy91]

here my e with 1.5 drop anyone know how to fix the rake.

Looks great! remove the rear spring pads and it should level it out
