finally dropped her ..

[regnu]

congrats I need to drop my ish too.

+1 more on drop the rear more.

[Huff]

Dude.. Stay on Southern California. If you were to roll around most of the country with your front like that, you would be leaving your lip and a lot of oil all over the place. That thing wouldn't last 1 week in Atlanta.. Even San Fransico..

However, it does look good.

[e30edward]

looks really good.

now i can't wait to get mine lowered...

[m3austin]

More drop in rear please.

[enzo]

Looks great. I bought the same springs except I have a 318is while you have a 325is. I can't wait to put mines on.

Comparing the Lowtec's spring rates with some of the others, I think the Lowtec will suit my needs more. I may opt for the IES3 in the future, but the Lowtecs are good for now.

Alot lower.

[Nic01101011]

how much lower is the m42 pan than the M20 pan?

looks good

[sticksdaman]

You can ditch the lower pads and it wont squeak....ask me how i know

Looks good. I got the same drop on the front of mine. And before i but the skidplate on it the pan only had a few scrapes. But soon after i put the plate on, the plate took a good size hit off of the road and held up just fine. I got the skidplate off of EJnight on here.

thanks jasonC. i am looking into getting one. maybe a christmas present..

[aSpecD_]

Spring pads? oh just saw that you do... I love the stance wouldn't change it at all.

Just load up the rear with some subs and it will sit lower.

Its been a while since I have seen a perfect stance...

why thank you sir.
i really don't want to take off the rear pads
peace and comfort > attempt to perfect a front rake

Yeah, the M42 pan is insanely low. I'm on ground controls and far from slammed and I still have an issue with hitting things.

Car looks nice, but a bit much rake and the front rates seem really soft IMO.
