what lowering springs to get for 19"s

[jasyn]

i have a 2003 330i sedan running on OEM sport springs. i'm currently running 19's on it and it looks like a SUV :oops: i want to upgrade my suspension (shocks + springs), and have a siginificant drop. i'm not really feeling coilovers (since they are to much, and i don't really know what all the settings are for) .. my car is just a daily driver.

what i'm looking for is a smooth ride for all the bumpy roads around here in california :realmad:

the drop i'm looking for is so my rear and front are about even with maybe a 1/2" finger gap .. i hate the raked look.

i've heard maybe intrax springs are good for this? anyone got opinions on these? or i may just go h&r cupkit for the whole shibang (shock + springs) but i hear the ride is harsh. or is it better to mix & match springs + shocks? :roll:

Hi jasyn,
I've been thinking about getting new springs to lower my car a bit as well. I was looking at the UUC Tuned Spring set which is designed to work with the stock shocks. I'm in L.A., so I feel you on the whole road bump situation. The roads suck in Cali. Let us know what you end up getting and how they turn out.

i was thinking of going uuc as well .. but from all the pictures i've seen .. the drops are all different so i don't kno what's up :oops:

i think i'm leaning towards the h&r cupkit .. and/or h&r sport springs with koni adjustables.

the whole dilemma is that because i'm running sports suspension already (OEM), i'm unsure of what exactly the drop will be like. also, i'm not leaning towards the raked look ... i like a even car ... are there any benefits to having the raked look?
