B16 Comfort on 340i

ajrocklin · 12-26-2019, 04:26 PM

I installed the B16 Comfort version and am realizing I should have gone standard instead; I want the front lower. The rear has more adjustability, but my fronts are maxed out. What are my options to lower the front another 3/4"? I was thinking of removing the locknut since I don't need it, but am worried it will create other issues. Is removing the nut possible, or should I replace the fronts (or entire set) all together? I put about 300 miles on them so assume they are settled already. Thx.

Edit: Spelling

You have a couple of options:
1) Buy the front springs from the non-comfort kit (and you'll probably want to buy the rear springs too).
2) Buy an OE to 60mm spring adapter (like Millway makes), and buy standard 60mm coilover springs that will give you the height you want.

Thanks for the replies. I'll take a few pics later today. I did pull one strut and realized the locknut would need to be cut off to remove it, it will not fit over the top cap. I don't mind cutting it off, just don't want to start bottoming out for removing that 1/2 in nut.
