MY 08' 135i ALPINE WHITE (LOWERED)

Smallbodybimmer · 06-01-2008, 11:37 AM

Looks awesome!! Impractical, too low, blah blah blah whatever man, still looks sick. If I could lower my car as much and garantee not to have issues, I would definetly do the same.

Robinc · 06-01-2008, 10:10 PM

damn! If I could get away with that, I would

Sedan_Clan · 06-13-2008, 12:36 PM

I like the look of your drop. Nice car!

groovyjay · 06-13-2008, 04:22 PM

That car has a perfect stance!

Fast Eddie, it says on the H&R website that the super sports are front 2.2 and rear 1.6 . . you stated that the rear is a 1.8 drop.

so just to clarify things up, is the rear drop 1.6 or 1.8?

1.6 I made a mistake

Wow, thats even lower than my sig. Looks good, but I think it would look even better with some nice rims.

Imola.ZHP · 07-03-2008, 11:00 AM

^ what doesn't? lol, he has to start somewhere...

I installed the springs quick cuz I had an autocross to attend that week (the car only had 500 miles on it :/, hah), i'm going to upgrade the struts with adjustable ones. Really don't have to be that careful and I also made it on the alignment rack with no problem (had to use a couple of peices of wood to get on). all in all I would give the H&R springs a 9/10

Yo! Eddie! You live in Chi-Town right? :drinking:

Holy Pot-Holes batman. You need to be real careful. Otherwise it looks great!

x97Melbourne · 07-03-2008, 10:05 PM

thats a sweet car, but i think it looked better before it was lowered

mjovic · 07-03-2008, 11:11 PM

There is such thing as too low and this is it. 1-1.5" max on this car is perfect.

Wraith · 07-04-2008, 12:34 AM

Looks awesome :w00t: but also a tad too low for my liking...but if it's what you want and your happy with it, that's all that matters :smile:

I'd want to put bigger wheels on this car and with that much of a drop, I think it wouldn't be possible without scrubbing issues...

Haha! That was greeaat. But yea, that car is too slammed. I feel like an old man saying that.

friscogypsee · 07-09-2008, 02:49 AM

:respekt:I think it looks sick. I will probably be doing this to my ride as I think the sport springs could be a tad lower. PROPS to you man

GQ 135i · 07-09-2008, 09:13 AM

Do you have any rubbing issues?

Steve135i · 07-09-2008, 09:23 AM

Your car looks great slammed. My Accord is like that. If I get a 135i I won't lower it, even though it looks great. Very nice though.

guardianangel3290 · 07-09-2008, 09:10 PM

it looks a little bit too low in the front, almost lowrider'ish

friscogypsee · 07-10-2008, 08:53 PM

if I did the math correctly, kw v1 coilovers are just a few hundred more and according to the website, they are able to drop the car even lower than the super sport/koni setup if desired, then you have real coilovers. Just wanted to throw that out there for anyone that is interested in a big drop. The op's setup rocks too, just tgrowing out some other options. Gravity auto sports has great prices.

PA135i · 07-10-2008, 09:04 PM

Too low.. I'll stick with the stock height.
