lowering my 01 330ci
what do u guys recommend, i was deciding either h&r or eibach.. or something that gives good ride quality.. also i dont want it to be to low. like one finger gap should be fine because i am going to put 18inch rims. so what do u guys think? what drop should i do?
thanks

if you got sport suspension now then i suggest a set of H&R race springs, your sport shocks should be able to handle them. For ride height it is RIGHT on the tire, so u can fit maybe half a finger.

If you have the sport seats and the sport wheel (3 spoke), you have the Sport Suspension.

My car is on H&R Cupkit for Sport Suspension, and it's a great set-up, better than stock, but still a practical ride height and comfortable.  Don't forget to replace your rear shock mounts while your at it, RE makes great replacements for $120 ish.

^ yea i made the same mistake when i ordered them for my bro's car, then called back and had them replaced for Race springs... very happy with the height, now that it's settled nicely too.it sits right abovee the tires.

Yeah, I'm very happy with Bilstein PSS coilovers for a daily driving... plus, the freedom to have height adjustability.
