What wheels and tire sizes did you go with? What was the process and components needed for the drop?

Jay Slay · 06-06-2010, 07:07 PM

can u take closer up pics of the front wheels and rear angles? I want to see exactly where it is sitting. I am debating on this setup too.

I have Avante Garde M341 wheels in 19s, 35 offset in the front and 33 offset in the rear, the tires i went with are 235/35 up front and 265/30 in the rear and the only suspension part that I have on the car are Eibach Sport Springs (1 inch drop in the front and .08 in the rear) that are made for the "i" series but can fit on the "XI" with no issues. Honestly, everyone has their own taste but for me, this was the perfect set-up in terms on drop height, ride harshness and looks (if you go with this setup and have a little extra cash, go get some Bilstein shocks, it will even be better)

granny- did you do the install yourself of have a shop do it? If you did it at a shop, what did that run you?? I have exact same car- want pretty much to replicate your car (wheels/ tires/ drop) love it.

I had a shop install it, my guy did it for real cheap but expect to pay somewhere from $200 - $300 for it depending on the shop, anything over that is really overpriced. Good Lcuk and i'd like to see your car once you're done modding.

The Avant Garde M341 look beautiful on the ride and is perfect with the Eibach Sport Springs!

I am about to do the same thing, only I have a more aggressive offset with the M3 19's, so hopefully there isn't any rubbing on the rears. Thanks for posting the info and the pics

Granny, perfect drop. Looks fantastic.

I am planning to do a very similar project on my very similar car. Thanks for sharing.

gunkata - which M3 wheels are you running and what are the sizes/offsets?

Car looks mint. Congrats.

Do the 335i springs work with the 335xi? It looks like the rake has been cured. That's the biggest problem with our cars, how the front end has more fender gap than the rear.

UltraRacer13 · 06-25-2010, 03:30 PM

Granny-

are they eiback sports or eiback pros?

LeMans335xiE90 · 06-30-2010, 10:15 AM

BRAISKI · 08-25-2010, 01:47 PM

I really like the drop of the Pro-kits... If I can't get the BMW Performance Springs from the dealer and let them install it then I might just go Pro-Kits again...

My RSX-S had pro-kits as well and it was perfect drop and ride. Nothing aggressive.
