Coilovers that both raise and lower vehicle

2003 325i · 07-07-2010, 11:54 PM

Ok people flame away. I'm looking for some coilovers or a maker that will maybe lift me 1" over stock and drop 1.5". These numbers are far from set in stone, just wondering what's out there. I like the idea of being higher in winter, but have no use for being slammed. 1.5" lower will be fine for me. I know ground control can keep me at stock height and lower me, but I want to go up!

Whatcha got?

any coilover brand is good. Since your just a non M.

KW or pss are good.

HSD Coilovers are what you are looking for

Doesn't look like there are BMW applications on their site.

Sorry but did you read my post? I'm looking for a specific brand/model that will raise above stock height and lower my vehicle. If you don't know of such a brand thanks but no thanks.

Couldn't find any on their site that satisfy my criteria, can you point me in the right direction?

I am not aware of any coilover system that will actually raise the vehicle over the stock ride height.

because non M dont need nice suspension they are so crappy. Actually you shouldn't even consider buying anything else than an M.

+1

Not only that but there are very few coilover systems that can actually come close to preserving stock ride height. Most will lower a mininum of about an inch.

Don't forget you need an alignment every time you raise/lower it.

I also don't know any coilover setup that will actually raise it over stock height or even close.

Tein SS work for me i do the same thing

TerraPhantm · 07-09-2010, 12:56 AM

My ground controls can definitely raise/lower the car. Probably .75-1" in each direction. If your car is a non-sport package, idk if it'll go above your stock height.

KW Coilovers have been proven over and over again to provide the best handling, the best warranty, and offers a good range of height adjustments.

You have a PM!
