Hi there. I just recently bought a 1989 325i. It drives like a dream and has some good work done to it, but it’s waaaaay too low. Apparently the previous owner put in “shortened Koni Yellow shocks with Eibach springs”. From what I understand, I should be able to easily raise the front using a crescent wrench, but he wrote that I would need “rear adjusters and pads” to raise the rear. I’m not quite sure what that means, and have done some research to find out, but I’m still not quite sure.
I took some pictures, hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction.
Also for reference in case it’s relevant, the list he gave me for the suspension work:
I also found a mechanic receipt that says the shocks are “Koni Sport (Yellow) 86-91 BMW 3 Series - 325ix (All Wheel Drive) including Touring - Front”. I can’t confirm that it’s the same on the front and rear, though they look the same.
Thanks!
