How Should I lower my E92 M3?

brandfay · 07-09-2014, 02:39 PM

Currently have my '13 AW E92 comp package essentially stock; only done wheels, exhaust, and the obligatory cosmetic upgrades in gloss black.

I was going to go with the Front lip/rear diffusor combo, but decided with all the driving I do in DC figure I would just lower it a little and go with the OEM Rear Spoiler to give it a better finish as I think going with a front lip and not lowering it looks awkward.

All I want to do is lower the vehicle slightly; which spring setup do I go with? Vehicle will never be tracked and is my daily driver....Clarendon to Manassas every day...thanks!

Do this:

and be done with it. Will likely be less drop than in their description as you have Comp pkg. You should notice better handling and ride which is win, win.

KW HAS Kit. All depends on how much you want to spend.

If you want a functional daily driver, don’t lower it. Unless you don’t care about ride harshness and wiping out the lip you're planning to install

What if you're a serious driver?

You would have to drive a convertible.

I would recommend Eibach pro-kit springs they ride like stock, it's not bouncy at all.

Last thing OP is thinking about is that lowering- with an engine blown due rod bearing failure I think his focus is getting that new engine. On the real though- now with a second engine I think there's no better time than to slap on supercharger!!
