Drea//Mer 30 Report post Posted July 3, 2007 Hi everyone, Ive been recently thinking about lowering my car but i know the springs i have ordered will drop my ride below the 100mm no-certification threshhold, but i was told i could buy suspension spacer things from bmw to install with the springs and raise the ride height a little. Is this true?? can anyone direct me to a place where i can get such a spacer?? cheers. (im too poor to have my car certified!) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bravo 35 Report post Posted July 3, 2007 Why not order different springs? You'll have a legal ride height and most likely better handling/spring rate. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kiwi535 538 Report post Posted July 3, 2007 bmw themselves have different "spring pads".An e34 for example can have 3mm or 9mm spring pads..I guess the only downside is they have to be rather thin otherwise the springs wont stay in.? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drea//Mer 30 Report post Posted July 3, 2007 i cant really, the springs are on an auction. I might just save for the certification and install them when i can afford it. Thanks anyway guys -Kieran Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You would think that Jamax or other well known spring manufacturers product wouldn't sag.Oh well sh*t happens. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
