Driving Lowered on SF hills

beeeemernoob · 10-06-2021, 01:43 PM

Hey SF natives,

Moving to SF soon and my f30 m sport is lowered on eibach springs. The drop isn't huge (less than an inch front and back) but im worried about excessive scrapping on the steeper hills. Should i go back to stock height?

cheers

No need to worry, You’ll be fine

I have an F31 xDrive on B12 pro kit (Eibach springs + B8 shocks)

I've only scraped my MPerf lip once on an actual road - yesterday, on Dolores turning onto Clipper, with my wagon particularly loaded with people and stuff for a move. Most of the other times I've scraped it's been a driveway that I didn't approach carefully enough.

You should be fine 99.9% of the time
