Hi guys,
I am still deciding which suspension to go with:dunno::dunno::dunno:... I gotta drop my car a few inches for sure,

any suggestions out there?

I have the sport suspension in my 323ci.

springs,coilovers, GC, shocks...


I want NO gap :thumbsup: gotta be low at the front of course.

TIA

@ Snikwad: OK, coils..what brand?

@ Invictus: Performance is not THAT important but yeah. I would like the ride to be stiff. My friends s2k feels awesome.. I think hes got Koni yellow and Ground control.

Whats your price range?

You options:

Lowering springs with stock shocks (wont last long...) (-1.1", -0.9") $200

Lowering springs with aftermarket sport shocks (-1.1", -0.9") $800

Cup kit (-1.5",-1.2") $650

Coilovers (adjustable, minimum -1" drop, max out around -3") starting at $1000 for Bilstein PSS, with lesser quality options available.

if u can see this, here is mine before i bought it, with cupkit sport. and LOTS of weight in the trunk pushing it down maybe another 1/2 inch in the back.

the front is perfect, but the rear is way too high on the cupkit IMO....

i think there is a thread full of cupkit pics on here, do some searching. id recomend the eibach shock/spring combo over it, just for the level look over the raked look.
