eef48 0 Report post Posted December 27, 2007 (edited) After spending $300.00 on having the front spoiler repaired on my 323 because the wife hit a concrete curb Ive decided I want to lift the car about 25mm from where it currently sits. When I brought the car it came with a brand new set of B & G 45mm drop spings in it.The car has only traveled about 2000 klms on these so are like band new.I would like the car to sit the same height as a motersport coupe or M3 so if you have a set of these you would like to swap send me a reply.Heres a pic of the car at its current height which looks great but is not practical for the way it is being used.I can get the original springs for the car but thats too high and not firm enough going by the other e46s Ive driven.

I had thought about that option but losing half the house etc it became an expensive exercise. Also the rear of the car is bottoming out on the stops which makes the ride abit uncomfortable at times.The car bottomed out on the chassie going over a speed hump the other day so it just becomes a pain having to crawl over every piece of dodgy road which is pretty common in TGA. I don,t think new shocks is the answer.If Im going to do that I might as well throw in a whole set of adjustables for $1600.00.

international 0 Report post Posted December 28, 2007 fully against raising a car but it still looks very good As always... Going up the height isnt really going to help much to be honest. After the new wheels on my car, I have been very careful about those damn curbs, its better to be out a bit than to be right up to those motherf**kers. Lifting the car 25mm isnt really anything much. Somewhere around 250mm would help more... ps...how come your 45mm drop is like my 60mm drop...yo PBOY, whos lower? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
