I have a hard time cleaning it as is...

Lowering? Well it does have performance benefits even if you don't like the aesthetics. |
Can you tell me of the performance benefits of just adding lowering springs? |
Lower center of gravity. |
Lower center of gravity doesn't mean anything though if your suspension travels is all out of sorts and the suspension geometry is also out of whack due to the lowered stance. Correct me if I am wrong, but this is from my experience when I tried just springs, then added shocks with springs than eventually to real good set of coilovers. |
I am doing M performance springs at the recommended height (.4" drop in front if I recall correctly). I am not lowering 2.9999" to create a slammed look. I am not adding spacers to throw off overall suspension geometry. There is a difference but please correct me if I'm wrong. |
First off we were talking about the car and springs in this thread and this situation. You responded by saying it helps because it lowers center of gravity. You didn't mention any thing about M sport springs from BMW and a measly .4inch drop. I can get a .4 inch drop by putting a bag or 2 of water softener in my car and get better center of gravity if that is the case.
