    Need - Car - LOWER!

    So I have Ground Control coils on my 325is and I put the front to its lowest setting and theres still a good 1/4-1/2" of wheel gap! The rear is perfect, just tucking some tire.

    Anyone have experience with these? What or where should I get a lower spring for these?

          thats crazy i thought GCs were super low those look like H&R Sport springs.
          cant you buy modified spring hats that will lower 3/4" or so?

            I cant recall i if the GCs use the stock spring hats but if they do search "Just another half inch" search titles only

            sorry i would link it, but I'm know using my PS3 exclusively since my computer crashed.

                I called my buddy at aftermarket distributing and hes looking into shorter springs. I also think I have a little bit of material left on top of the spring perch weld so Im going to knock that off.

                  Cut the stock spring perch off, and have the GC D-ring welded a little lower than where the stock perch sits.

                      you need to lower the front a bit.
