Brad1138 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2006 Hey, Just had my e34 lowered, in my opinion its no where near low enough. 3cm in the front, nothing in the back. basically looks standard. wondering what you guys have done to get more drop, saw off a coil or compressing the springs? it rides basically the same aswell. im pretty dissapointed. what else can i do? thanks for the help in advance.

Brad1138 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2006 yeah its the same height as the first one pretty much, you know any tricks to get it lower? aparantly if the springs are any smaller they become uncaptive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bravo 35 Report post Posted June 28, 2006 If yo want lower springs and captivity is a problem then you need to also purchase shortened shocks so as to limit the suspension travel. Lopping off a coil (DON'T!!!!) or compressing the spring (generally not recommended) will give the same problems regarding captivity as shorter springs.
