Reverse Rake!!! Help me!

[JordsProject]

Now that I have your attention, I hope somebody can help me out
I'm hating on my "reverse rake" at the moment.
I recently went and bought 4 more spring pads that I'm yet to stack in the rear to raise it a little, but maybe I should just go lower in the front as well?

I'm just on lowering springs but is there anyway that I c an go lower?? I know coilovers are the best option but don't have thousands to spend atm.
Any help is appreciated!

Do you like your oil pan?

Who needs an oil pan anyways? ;)

What springs are they? The issue is the springs. If you want to go lower and correct the rake you're going to need new springs/coils/air. Or you can try e90 drop hats in the front. I would not just start stacking spring pads in the rear.

They are Dobi Sports, the light green in colour.
Here in New Zealand we don't have many options in lowering springs unfortunately.
I've heard thicker spring pads do help a lot from a few people, may still try it.

I really want coilovers but is it worth it for a standard 318i auto. I don't think so haha

E90 drop hats bring the front end down .5" (.5 of a inch, not sure what it is in mm)

I think the question is do I waste time and try do it cheaply. Or just suck it up and buy some coilovers..
But then 100$ compares 1500$ hmmmm :/

Just buy coilovers.

space the rear springs up some. best part about it is you can just make your own spacers out of most rubber materials - just cut in the general shape of the pad + a hole in the middle, put underneath the factory spacer, done

You don't have reverse rake.....you have a late model.

On the cheap, maybe put the original springs back on and no pads.

Just a quick update, went down to the local wreckers and found 4 spring pads that i cut the nipple off to fit under the original pads on top.

managed to fit them all on so around 15mm in total including original pad.

I think it looks alot nicer!
what do you think?

+1 on Iron's comment, it's a late model, it's always gonna look like the rear is alot lower.

personally i thought it looked fine before, though maybe it's more pronounced in person

Looks much better IMO
