Unofficial Lowered F32 Thread

SoCal_NSX · 03-17-2018, 03:04 PM

Ok guys post 'em up!!!

Looking to lower the car as one of my first mods.

Would like to see some pics with different options and some feedback on handling and ride comfort along with your wheel and tire specs if possible

Not looking for the slammed look with crazy camber....Looking for functional/performance type set ups.

(Yes I already tried a search....

)

Don't be shy......Let's see them!!!

Thanks!

Just google search bmw f32, images, and a bazillion pics of f32 in various states of dress will come up.

That first pic with the door always throws me off, at quick glance i always think car has some crazy rear spoiler but then realize it's just the door push handle bar

Here ya go...not as slammed, leaves a little more room for wheel travel

info is in my build thread below

Edit: Figured I'd be more specific to my setup per OP's initial post request

Lowered 1" Front and Rear with Dinan Performance Spring/Bump Stop set. Car rides more "planted" without overly aggressive firmness typically associated with "true track cars".

Done that too many times .... nice pics, not a lot of info on specs.

It’s why I posted this thread..... be nice just to have the lowered f32’s in one thread with some quick specs to compare and hear feedback

Check the stance thread. Most ppl give their specs and suspension.

Bagged. Literally the best investment I've ever made on a coupe. Ride quality is better than stock, and you can be lowered, stock, above stock with the push of a button

Just curious what the cost is involved in that?

Personally I'm not really into the slammed look, but bags are cool for when you want to slam it once in awhile for show. Be pretty cool to set it at any height at the push of a button that is for sure.

Looks great....Do you have any other pics at different ride heights ?

How do you like the ST coils? Mod Bargains has a really good deal right now on them... which ones did you get? ST-X?

Seems like the best bang for your buck right now....

gsilver · 03-29-2018, 11:52 PM

I have the STs as well and am happy with them. Got them at extreme powerhouse and SSR Performance did a great job on installation. Originally was trying to decide between the B14s and the STs, but since the Bilsteins are on backorder everywhere, both shops recommended the STs. They are made by KW in Germany. Im running breyton wheels (19 × 8.5 and 19x9.5). Tires are Michelin Pilot Super Sports. In the front are 225/40 and 255/35 in the rear. It has a bit of stretch and am debating going 235/40 and 265/35 to be more flush when these wear out. However it might not fit so will have to ask the tire store for their opinion.

15Blk428i · 04-01-2018, 10:50 PM

I would agree with gsliver. I really like the ride with the STs. I have the ST-X.
