Cup Kit for Convertible

[Jordan]

would a 318i be too high for the h&r cup kit? i was about to get it......

318i is lighter then a 325i. It wouldn't lower it quite as much. Also, the cupkit wont fit a 318i as a 318i has smaller diameter strut tubes, and it will not fit struts designed for a 325i on it.

you can do a search and probably find Rob's 318is when he put the Cup kit on it.

they are, but the amount of lowering is probably close, just to get an idea.

If you use any 325-specific spring rates it will ride (most likely) higher with a 4-cylinder.

What is the best suspension set up for the M42?

Cup Kits already sit too low in the rear, It will look like your car is bent over taking a dump.

Only if you have the gay later lower arches ;)

It looks pimp on early arches.

all cabrios have the later arches

You seem to forget that 318i's have 45mm front strut tubes, and the Cup Kit will not work on them.

[Digitalwave]

No, that's why I said 318i's.

I didn't say it work, I agreed they won't. I said he should look at Rob's car to see how springs drop the lighter car differently. ;) As in other springs....but comparing Cup kit on 318is versus everyone else who has the cup kit gives a good impression of the difference.

I said this before, but then deleted it. Answer: Ground Control. ;)

GC: Could be, if you want. NOPE. Highly probable. " "
