zenetti 0 Report post Posted August 1, 2007 Just a word of warning - a good friend of mine had an E46 coupe and wanted it as low as possible. He ended going 60mm lower in the rear - 6 months later he had to replace the whole rear sub frame - 6k worth. Apparently being too low had caused too much 'force' on the car and it ripped the rear arms away from the chassis!! And I have since heard of 2 other cars doing the same thing - all were E46 coupes.

Met a white girl who dropped hers by ~80mm, she said there was no problems for her...but never trust a white girl... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nobimmer 694 Report post Posted August 2, 2007 Haha Supposed to be a 60-70mm drop in the rear and 50-55mm drop in the front.Also having bumpstops made up at GR Engineering so should have more travel. Springs are Dobi sport super lows in the front and Whiteline Custom made springs in the back. Shocks are Monroe Reflex that have been shortened to suit. Everything is brand spankin' new apart from the front coils. That sound about right?Anything else I should consider? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nobimmer 694 Report post Posted August 2, 2007 Chassis Rails. Done the rears and the rear chassis rail is sitting on about 80mm now without it being settled in or anything. Bring on a cert! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
