Hey all,

Got a 2000 e39 eurospec 540i with the luxury package. Would like to lower the stock suspension in the front by about 3/4 to 1in. Any suggestions that are inexpensive?

Inexpensive?

Big ass steel cutters.

:rofl

Spring/Shock combo would be the cheapest...

2 bags of cement in the trunk

2 bags of cement under the hood

he said the front ;)

Sometimes it just seems like fredk doesnt know anything about cars =P

not to poop on this thread but.... why is it in the northeast section??

Aw crap. You're right. :(

dont be sad, its christmas!! all is forgiven :redspot

No sweat. I think I may try and cut the springs at this point in time. I'm pouring a bunch of $$ into my M3 right now, so anything I can save would be good. Would cutting the springs (only in the front, and only to lower the car by 0.5 to 1") mess up the handling at all?

not if you do it correct should be fine

thanks....:)

How does one cut a spring correctly?:confused

OEM BMW Springs don't have dead coils (extra coils that are flat top and bottom) so...:help

dont cut it in the middle and weld it back together? :dunno

On second thought, I may just wait... Eventually I'll be ready to upgrade the suspension but for now I need to focus my deutschmarks on the M3 :buttrock
Thanks for all your help and input.
