How low can you go...

Recommended Posts

Whats the lowest an E36 Sedan can go before having troubles with the 100mm clearence problem...I've heard E36's have low as chassis rails?

Have ordered new shocks and springs and am thinking I could just sneak in :D

Any help would be much appreciated

Cheers

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.

Most springs available only drop 40~50mm. Met a white girl who dropped hers by ~80mm, she said there was no problems for her...but never trust a white girl...

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?

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!
