hello everyone im new to this forum and would like to properly introduce my self so yeah HELLO......

ANyway i have a 03 sedan stock everything except my lower sills are painted so the car looks better ....

okay so here is my thing i just bought some 19in rays pretty mint with good tires they are offsets !!! i put them on everything is okay except i feel like my car does need a slight drop but at the same time i think it looks okay


my real problem is 3 of my friends have older body bmw 3 series sedans the ones before the ones out now and they all swapped there stock 16inch wheels for bigger bmw wheels m3 wheels i know for sure on 1 and it looks goood without a drop

so why does it look okay on the bmw but on our cars it doesnt look all that great is it just me or what

really dont wanna drop my car and mess with my suspension ride quality i feel like im going back to when i wwas 17 im 23 by the way so yeah WHAT DO YOU GUYS THink ??????

SERIOUSLY i know alot of you are gonna say drop it but i dont want to lol
is it just a mind thing since i was readin through the forum that i would need a drop before i got the wheels


SORRY FOR THE LONG POST!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL

ANY pics with stock sedans /stock suspension /19 rays / 19 g37 / 19 m45
:confu sed2confused2confused2confused2confused2 confused2confused2confused2o

 

dude you can drop the car half an inch and not sacrifice ride quality


search member Wannabe6MT for pics

btw welcome

 

im thinking about the h tech springs but then im going to need shocks too because im on a non sport sedan right?????

and the g/z setup is like impossible to get a hold off

man y cant the car just look okay without the drop ......n im def not goin back to those little crusty 17 inch wheels lol

 

Go with the full Z setup... ride is fine.
Check mine for details.

 

hey welcome, and yeah you will probably have to lower it at least a little bit for it to look nice. like everyone is saying do the Z setup, quality ride will still be there and be smooth. good luck! and any pictures?

 

Can't get any more mild of a drop than this. G/Z springs:

 

ima c if i get some pics later and post them tonight

 

bmw's tend to have a better stance from factory vs alot of makes. The sport tuned suspension bmw models are a tad lower than bmw with reg suspension.

 

thats my car its a little dirty

 

I see no pic?

Yeah, and I have the G/Z combo it's not hard to get ahold of. I got Z springs for $50 and Coupe springs for free (well, i bought him lunch)... The car DEFINITELY needed the drop. Here's my before on stock wheels, then with 19s no drop, then with the drop.

 

^^^wow that looks good^^^^ ....can someone school me on how to post a pic

 

Thanks buddy

Well, I would suggest using photobucket.... you upload your pictures there and then you can "Share" that picture and it gives you a link to post in here and it shows up like mine did

 

please tell me the pic shows

also someone selling me z springs from a 03 with low miles i guess there unrevised what yall think should i just buy the front or all

 

I've posted this pic before, but it's a good perspective on Sedan H Techs and coupe 19s.

 

Your pic worked! Def should do a drop. Get all 4 incase you can't get coupe springs. If I were you and want the most comfort.. Get REVISED springs with the shocks from the 350 too.. Normally $150-$200..
