    just installed LOW springs

    hi, i just installed LOWEST red BMW springs, and as far as i know it doesnot work properly with stock shoks?? or it does... tell me a few words about which shocks should i use... (low budget)

    and also whats the best angle of the wheels??? both front and rear for a good traction and also drifting and sliding...

      low springs with stock shocks = blown shocks, buy shorter performance ones now.

      angle on the tires? Theres a lot, maybe picking a certain one (camber, toe, castor... most not adjustable without additional pieces) would help

      good traction != drifting/sliding

          Short shocks that are made by BMW no. Shorter sport shocks/struts from best to worst Koni, Bilstien, KYB. Other people might have a different preference of order, it all depends on the intended purpose of the car. Bilstien Sports are great for a street car with a little track time.

            i think i will choose bilstein, i found some... they cost 4x $50 they are a bit used but in a very good condition, I think the price is too good for them :)
            thanks for help
