Rear Ride Height

richk84 · 09-13-2017, 04:17 AM

This is bit of a strange one..... Recently started a new role and the works car park has a very steep incline which my e93 is struggling to clear. When my car reaches the drop of the incline and it levels out there is contact with the underneath, Luckily at the moment I seem to be catching my rear jack points. My side skirts and underneath seem untouched. The obvious thing is to remove the jack points but they are providing a buffer from anymore damage. Being a e93 the back does tend to ride very low. I'm running Eibach pro springs with Bilstein B4 sport dampers. This is a very conservative drop in my opinion and didn't think I would have any issues,

So far I'm thinking of putting the original rear springs back in or spring pads.

What are people's thoughts?

On another note. Since fitting the Eibach and Bilstein combo the car feels more bouncy. Any ideas what could be causing this? As I understand the B4 sport is a shorter damper than stock so do I need to look at different bump stops?
