Gus 5 Report post Posted May 22, 2006 post some pics...the pre Facelift have higher rear arches so if you are comparing to facelifts it may seem higher give it a week or two to settle, as it may right itself Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bmwsparkle 3 Report post Posted May 22, 2006 Mean. Rake looks good on euros. Could possibly be jamex springs, which do lower front more. Stop typing like an idiot as well. Type out in full otherwise some people will get annoyed, just some advice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OLLIE 26 Report post Posted May 22, 2006 the springs and shocks need to settle. also in the back you can remove the rubber spring pads that'll drop it an extra 10mm. i never told you to do it though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SIKE30 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2006 the springs are B & R or something they are red springs. Will taking tha rubber out cause any damage? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bumpstop325 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2006 They are B & G springs. I find these are awesome for thug missions. Let them settle for a couple of days. Then tell us if the problem is still there. How low is it now? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nz320i 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2006 (edited) put some pics up mate, otherwise simply compress them, as it will help your thug missions as mentioned by another member, and possibly give a 10hp gain due to the lesser wind resistance by the car being closer to the ground. think about it.

ducatiss 1 Report post Posted May 25, 2006 (edited) Yes, the B+G springs do settle slightly higher at the rear - well at least mine did anyway. You really shouldnt notice it unless the car is level. If you could post us a pic we could see exactly by how much you are talking about. As others have already said, they will settle somewhat. Heres a pic of mine with the same springs and Bilstein Sports Edited May 25, 2006 by ducatiss Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
