Stock suspension height

Asmooth0101 · 09-19-2021, 11:18 AM

Just picked up my m3 comp on Friday. Was thinking about lowering but rear looks low enough. What do you think?

Looks good to me but I’m not a fan of dropping cars down onto the tires, so maybe I’m not a good judge.

Do you like it?

Let's see the front too

Front is much higher… simply the bigger wheel in the back?

Front

Rear arch is 1 inch physically lower design wise. G82 does not have this, thus why it looks taller.

Stock vs Stock right before I got my PB...

I'm quite happy with the stock rear height of my M3. The front could be an inch or so lower. But the back is good, especially with a 12mm spacer. I wish I could just get a slightly shorter spring for the front, this would be ideal. I like the way the car performs with the stock suspension and don't want to change driving dynamics just for the sake of looks.

I feel the same way. Have you found anything that might work for the front?

There are tonnes of threads on this. You can get lowering springs quite easily from H&R, AST etc. For a few hundred bucks or adjustable kits for a lot more

This is on the MSS kit and has spacers too

I would get some spacers to fill out the arches and do some research on the various spring kits to see what suits your needs
