sport pkg coupe with lowering springs..chime in!!!
like the title say:
if you have sport package coupe with lowering springs, please let me know what kind (brand) of lowering springs you used and how much is the ACTUAL drop, not the numbers that the company of the springs said (because im not sure if it will be like what they said). im back in tampon, so the roads are much better than in NY, and im looking to lower my car to have the more aggressive look with the comfort of stock or better than stock sport package setup. i have read ton of posts about lowering springs, but all i got is this say that and that say this...not what i was looking for. ![]() so please help me out guys, thanks

H&R sport springs
roughly a 1in drop in the front, .5 inch drop in the rear spring rate is only slightly stiffer than OEM... which is still comfortable for a daily driver Last edited by SurreyF1; 05-14-2013 at 05:46 PM. |

H&R Race springs. roughly an inch drop but I never measured. They road really well for being a "race" spring. Not too harsh and were pretty stiff in the corners.

[QUOTE=SurreyF1;15423628]H&R sport springs
roughly a 1in drop in the front, .5 inch drop in the rear [QUOTE=redline61;15423668]H&R Race springs. roughly an inch drop but I never measured. They road really well for being a "race" spring. Not too harsh and were pretty stiff in the corners. im looking into the H&R sports also, but the specs from the manufacture says its .75 in the front and .25 in the rear, but im looking for a lil more drop than that. But i didnt look into the race because my car is going to be a daily drive. the race is probably a lil more (and that is probably what im looking for in drop, but didnt want it because of the stiffness). anything about the eibach pro or and sport line? anyone out there? thanks

sorry for the confusion, what i was trying to say in post #1 is that i wanna know what are the ACTUAL drop numbers in comparison to what the manufacture claimed. Because idk if it is the same as what the manufacture claimed to be for our 330ci sport coupe or not. That was y i asked those members with 330ci sport coupe to chime and and hopefully shed some lights on me because i have been reading this and that, and this person say this and the other say it differently. i hope you guys understand what im trying to get at.
