Vivid Racing had a customer bring us their new BMW M3 E92 to put a lowering spring kit on the car. The 3 hour install was very easy and gave the V8 monster a nice stance. The springs lowered the front of the car about 1.5 inches and there about 1.2 inches overall.

i don't like how much rake the new M3s have visually.. too dragster

 

Those are 14" slicks and it does 9sec 1/4's. Wait till you see the parachute

 

Drop is very nice, however, your customer must have spent all his/her money on the M3.

When you own an expensive car (like an M3), you should have one of the best coilovers installed, not springs.

 

The new M3 doesn't need to be lowered IMO, but that's a great looking car!

 

+1...AGREED

 

This guy has plenty of cake in the pockets. Sometimes, you just need to go over the top.

 

Car looks great. Nice pics Dan.

 

looks sharp! we have H&R springs installed on our 996 and we're really happy with the results. i've heard the same thing about "you need to go with full coilovers vs springs", but all in all, we're pleased with our choice. =) i'll be having the boxster done in about a month as well.

 

looks good

 

your smokin something...when you're looking to close the gap springs are fine...wouldnt even notice a difference...I'll probably get a set for mine as well...sports ...

 

Eibach and H&R must be owned by big reefers!

 

Looks nice. Not everyone needs adjustable coilovers in fact its over the top for most people. Springs are just right for most in actual application.

 

3 hours for springs?!?

Didn'tt the rear spring take like 15 minutes?!?

 

You're absolutely correct, I'm smoking the good stuff while you're smoking the bad sh$t.

Customers are not going to pay $3k plus for coilovers if they felt there are no differences with handling/performance/quality. And I'm not saying lowering springs are bad; I had lowering springs on my 1985 VW GTI. I'm just saying if you drive a high-end car don't short change yourself by dumping $500 springs. Thats like wearing a $5k Versace suit, with $30 shoes; why bother.
