^ Your best bet would be coilovers, like Ground Control or H&R. Then you could spec the ride height and comfort level exactly to where you want it.
On another note: Is anyone running H&R Sport springs for the coupe/sedan on their vert? I thought it might be a good way to get my car lower, as they are slightly shorter and would still match my Bilsteins. Pics would be great.

This is how it works; you buy my junk, then I will buy more junk and so on so forth etc. etc. Think of the future of your children and buy my stuff.

More pictures....and even more questions...finally completed the M3 suspension all around...here is the side shot of the car:
Driver's Side Front:
Passenger Side Front:
Rears:
So...why is the rear sagging? I'm tempted to put my stock rear Cabby Springs back on just to try and even it out...
Oh...the setup is as follows:
All new CABs and bushings
New outter tierods
New front sway linkages
M3 Springs
Front Stock struts
Rear Bilistein HDs
Thanks!BMWCCA #389756

"My cab is running factory cabrio mtech springs (-20mm) and stock shocks."
Boomer and Julien suggested I use the M-Tech cabrio specific springs, that sounds like a great idea to me, and I would imagine I can run Bilstein HD's if they are running stock shocks. Now where do I get new M-tech springs, on real oem.com the springs for my 325I list for 3
$300 each never mind M-tech. Does H&R make M-tec cabrio spring replacements??? Anyone here running these????sigpic

Well that defeats my intention of getting M-tech cabrio specific springs. I want a slight drop, in NY/NJ you will bust an oil pan faster than you will get mugged. So I'm looking for an alternative to Billy Sports.

It doesn't matter if your car is m-tech or not, since you're replacing the springs. The H&Rs should be paird with Bilstien Sport shocks.sigpic
