[Dester607]

Hello Fellas... I need some advice on lowering my BMW 1988 IS. Don't get me wrong I been looking in the forum. but I'm getting confused don't know much
about lowering and what's involved .. I would like to know if I can go with the original shocks and buy lowering springs or I have to go with a full kit, I don't wanna slamit but just to give a nice stance Im on original basketweaves,.. any thoughts.. thanks dester607

You will need Sport Shocks or they will bottom out with lowering Springs. I have run Bilsteins Sports with H&R Sport Springs. Nice Ride.

will that intrude my original comfort ride?

You are lowering your car, therefore your "original comfort ride" will be compromised. Do you want your car lowered or do you want oem comfort?

Ski...I would like to lower my E and do understand the sacrifice in ride difference but I don't wanna it to be huge just asking what is the softer shocks and springs to go with...adjustable damping is complicated for me to much involved. this would be my first lowered car my pic is saying help me lol

I installed H&R oe sports in my ETA with stock replacement shocks (bistein touring) and e90 drop hats. The drop is modest (about an inch) and we have never had a bottoming issue.

^ Thats what I'm doing. I think of it as a OEM+ suspension set up.
