Finally got springs and got rid of 296's

Swervd · 07-01-2013, 07:09 PM

Originally planned on getting 20's but couldn't pass up a good deal on the 326's without RFT. Debadged and blacked out center caps and roundrels. Waiting on painted reflectors and planning on getting a 3D front lip for non M bumper. Also got the side skirts from R1Andy(they look great by the way) ready to install but going to put it on at the same time when I get the front. Here are a few shitty iphone pictures.

looks good with the drop. what springs?

any rub so far when you really compress the suspension?

Swervd · 07-01-2013, 08:51 PM

H&R springs with 10mm spacers all around. So far no rubbing at all

Ramius · 07-02-2013, 01:43 AM

Are those 225/255?

+1

Are they real 326s or replicas?

Car looks great.

These wheels are one of the best looking stock wheels IMHO.

Yes 225/255

I hope they are real. I tried finding replicas but the only ones I found are the 313's.

It was a toss up between these and the 313's for me in regards to stock wheels.

Did the car come with adaptive sport suspension?

What's the ride like with the H&R springs

positiveions · 07-07-2013, 09:53 AM

Looks good buddy.

Its a little bouncy but not too bad. Handling is a lot better and feels nice around corners, body roll reduced. I would say the ride is smoother than stock springs with RFT.

Looks great. You stated you got a good deal on the 326's? Where did you get them and how much?
Love the drop. I need to drop mine. The gap is just too large with stock springs?

You know what size spring pads were used when you installed the springs?

BMWZ4RIDER · 10-01-2013, 06:51 PM

Love the drop. I Need to "getter done"

Not sure man. I would assume they re used the factory pads.

Do it man. Looks so much better!! The handling and reduced body roll is also a huge plus.
