hmmm.... i donno... i've always had the money to drop my car, but i wouldnt have the money to get rims, so that was holding me off for a while. if you drop your car, your stock rims will look really small on your car that it'll look funny. i say you wait until u have to funds to do both at the same time.

hey man, how much did you get your h&r coilovers for? how's the ride compared to stock? adjustible dampners? i didn't know h&r coilovers were out for the e90.

icewatersoda · 06-26-2006, 05:43 PM

Got them HERE at MOREPOWERRACING (took a few hours of research to find these guys at this price.. prolly the best price out there.

1264 no tax (for CA) + free shipping (there is a small handling fee)

The ride is Awesome. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!!!

IMHO - Honestly ... it is equal to or better than STOCK.

BeeEmDubU · 06-27-2006, 12:18 AM

heres my 325i dropped on kw v3's on 20's...unfortunately i dont have pics of before cause i put the rims on first, hoping that i wouldnt need a drop...but lemme tell you, this board is peer pressure...and i cracked so i got coilovers..

cant complain tho, im pretty happy with the results

BeeEmDubU · 06-28-2006, 09:57 PM
