Mark 178 Report post Posted September 30, 2010 (edited) Before (shitty photo) After (not quite as shitty photo) Specs: Standard Bilsteins with H&R springs (35mm drop) I like it now, less rake and less body roll. Girlfriend hates it, says the bumpiness makes her carsick. At the same time I had the driveshaft coupling replaced and steering rack refurbished - car drives much more nicerer now. Dave at DCH Motorsport said it's the nicest stock 325i he's driven < I blushed. Oh, put the centrecaps back on for all you "naked RS" haters too. Chur.

Mark 178 Report post Posted September 30, 2010 (edited) ^ @Dubman, yup. Well I think so, springs were from TM and I matched the serial number on the front springs to the H&R website to get that number. Edited September 30, 2010 by _Mark_ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark 178 Report post Posted September 30, 2010 yeah tell her to f**k off and harden up. tell her mine has to put up with 525/700 pounders .. she sweet with it Absolutely! After she said that I threw the car round a bend to see how much the body roll had lessened and she smacked her head on the window. At least that took her mind off her "sore tummy" Ha!

Guest Simon* Report post Posted September 30, 2010 Looks_good_mate_! Srsly, it sits nicely. Yours needs centre caps, it's too clean and nice to pull off the "no-cap" look. Brams' on the other hand has a dash of ferality about it - caps are strictly optional for his The bang head on window comment reminded me of this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_Matt_ 42 Report post Posted October 1, 2010 Oi Mark, give be some springs for an early birthday present. You know mine would look sick with a 35mm drop i'm on 50s too and then ill white wall them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bravo 35 Report post Posted October 1, 2010 Get the Billies re-valved and bumpstops shortened and you'll end up with a nicer ride and better handling. Not too expensive at all. (few hundred). My suspension went like this: 1. Cheap no-name springs and old Bilsteins = too low, crap ride, crap handling. 2. H&R's like yours and old Bilsteins = perfect height, much nicer ride, and good handling. 3. Urethane bushes plus H&R's plus custom re-valved re-built rear billies, and brand new front billies custom re-valved and all shocks bumpstops shortened = best handling e30 I've driven that hasn't spent thousands on suspension.

gouba 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2010 How high are the chassis rails off the ground? It looks like exactly the ride height I am after Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark 178 Report post Posted October 2, 2010 Just measured, chassis rails are 100mm from the ground. So just bang on legal. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
