Adjusting suspension heights for a more aggressive look

[evangelion139]

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for some advice on how to adjust the suspension heights on my e92 M3 to achieve the look I'm going for in the attachment (the grey one).






Not sure if it's only a matter of suspension height, or a combination of [tire size], [rim size], [suspension], [lightning and photo angel] that made it look more aggressive than a typically lowered e92 m3?





The current height being set to my e92 m3 (the blue one) measured by finger space is:
*space for 1 finger in the front
*space for <0.5 finger in the rear

Any advice for height adjustment is greatly appreciated

This is not what I expected when I read the title...

I'm very curious to find out how the grey one was able to pose the stance like a cheetah ready for hunting, while my is like an inflated balloon...

Added Splitter with side skirts does most of its looks.

Huh?

your suspension height looks similar to the grey one—but your photo just kind of sucks as it has too little contrast! Lol FIXED it for you! 🤷🏻&zwj;♂️

Stanced toilets, obviously

Front is lower, simply as that. Photo angle does help the look.

Unless you are running adjustable struts, you'll need a different spring.

yeah that's what i figured too, will try to lower my front this week and see what happens. Also will add gts front lip/side skirts/rear lips to help with the look.

Eh, the lip adds to the lowered look a bit, but that car is set up pretty aggressively. For reference, here is the difference between my OEM ZCP suspension and my KW Clubsports. I'm running approx 1.2" lower than stock in the front, but I'm going to raise it a bit to get more out of the suspension, as these cars sacrifice some cornering performance when too low to the ground. That car is also running a higher rake setup than I am (which I'm considering adjusting to push some more weight transfer over the front wheels for better traction under hard braking).

In order to do properly, you will need lowering springs or coilovers. If you go with lowering springs only, I'd imagine that you'll sacrifice ride quality for looks. I went 0-100 with my setup, so your car would still be less harsh than my ride. This is my track car, so all mods are geared toward performance as opposed to driveability.
