Thinking about dropping my 03 325 XI

Bimmer Dude Xi · 10-06-2008, 02:12 AM

OK, I've been doing some research on springs, camber kits and sway bars. Every products seem good but I'd like to get opinions on the products out there.

H&R springs are good for your car but if you have the budget then go with a set of coilovers. Let us know if you have any questions.

i went with hr sports for my xi, i love them. made the car look a lot better, and the ride is sportier, comfort is not bad. but i guess coilovers are the way to go if you want to be really slammed.

also be sure to check the "XI check in" thread for all xi information. a lot of the guys in that thread have good information to give about our cars.

OK, I really wanna stay-up from coil overs, I just wanna do a set drop. I looking to do a 1.0" to 1.5" drop. I'm kind of worried about wheel rub in the rear if I have passengers.

I was considering Eibach springs, H & R springs or UUC springs.

But I'm looking comment from people who already done the drop with which brand they used.

i had no rubbing issues when i used h&r sports with 5 people in the car. i also have 18x8.5 rims with 235/40/18 tires all around.

We have had great feed back about the UUC springs. It will lower your car about 1.25"-1.5" with very little rake. Let me know if I can help you out with a set.
