    Rake issue with 325i suspension on 318i

    Added billy sports and h&r race springs originally from a 325i...obviously a heavier car. Added them to my 318i and the front sits a bit high. Added double pads on the rear to increase the height a bit and was slightly helpful. So my question is what other people can suggest or have done in this situation.

      Put a m20 in there. That'll fix the rake.

          You can get drop hats, cut a coil or deal with it. E30s usually do have some rake and m20s aren't exactly boat anchors in comparison.

              I thought drop hats were only for the rear

                          Race springs were meant for an M3 which has an engine similar in wight to an m10/m42. I 15mm drop hats and mine sat pretty level on it.
