Whats up guys. I need some help. I want to put some lowering springs on my car but am not sure there is a size that i need. My tire size is screwing up the mojo here. I have a set of 295/25/21 in the rear and 255/30/21 up front. The overall diameter of this tire is 26.8" in the rear and 27" up front. I seem to have a larger gap in my fender wells on the rear then the front. I assume thats the design by BMW. I dont want to lower the front but to make the car seem perfectly level, i would like to drop the rear about 1". I checked out Eibach and H & R and they all seem to drop the car at a minimum of 1.2-1.4. I also have the sport. What do you guys recomend for me to close the gap in the rear?

I also just picked my car up today from the body shop...i had the complete M-Tech kit installed & a ACS trunk spoiler. It turned out great, especially in the Orient Blue. I will post pics this week.

I was trying to avoid the cost of coilovers but might not have a choice.

Yes...bought it from Quad M. Great transaction.

Honestly, id go with standard H&R springs. MUCH cheaper and it gets the job done. Id only go coilovers if I want to do an extreme drop once in a while. 1.2 and 1" isnt far from each other

Do you think its strange to only drop the rear or have you heard of someone droping only the rear before? Because if i drop the front, i will rub.

Yea man I wouldnt just drop the rear, it might look odd. If you have a 25 or 28 offset im pretty sure u can use the H&R springs. Theres someone here with 245/30/22 with 25 offset on a 22x8.5 or 22x.9 wheel and hes fine.

Plus im pretty sure if it wont work out then they will refund the money for the springs/install

OR worse case scenario we can trade wheels
