Finally lowered

328iX · 03-16-2019, 08:46 PM

It's been a long day but got my car lowered thanks to zcspec

Ordered a pair of 5mm spacers, then i'll get it aligned, and i think i'll be happy.

Review on ACS springs:
The ride is very comfortable, you'd almost think it's OEM
but the handling is amazing, the turn in on the car is immediate, it used to be
-body roll, turn in, now it's just so much more quicker, the most noticeable thing imo

Car does have a hair of reverse rake, but so did the oem setup, so i'm not too bothered.

Edit: Top photo is stock height, second photo is after 3 hours driving, last photo is right after install and a spin around the block.

328dX, post a final photo once the springs settle in. As I mentioned, it looked DAMN good when you drove away!

My gratitude to the opportunity to work on your Bimmer, patience, and help on the install.

Good for you, looks great.

I also chose AC Schnitzer spring kit after a ton of research.

Ended up pairing with Bilstein B8... but Im RWD.

I would definitely roll like that until your stock shocks are shot and then reevaluate.

Yup thats the plan, I know they'll eventually blow and thinking of coilovers

Looks like a good height for your car. It should feel even better after the alignment

SoCal_NSX · 03-19-2019, 12:10 AM

Looks good! I'll have to check it out in person since you're in my hood

Here it is fully settled, spacers should be in tomorrow.
Thought i'd try panoramic mode for a wide angle lens look.
