Just about most coilover can go low on BMWs. I am currently on KW v3s but its an E36.

My buddy is on H&R Street Performance coilovers. and can go even lower.

I would recommend that you check out KW's lineup of coilovers for your car. KW offers the V1, V2, or V3 depending on what your goals are for the car. I'll shoot you over a PM with more details!

KW V2 went lower on my E36 than even the car in post #3. It could drop so far it was too low for reasonable driving.

Yup I was slammed for about a week but everywhere I went there were speed bumps and entrances I kept bottoming out and scrapping.

My KW V2s are virtually at the lowest setting and I've heard KWs have the biggest drop available atm. You can search for pics of my car to see how long I have it.

If you're looking for a product that isn't too expensive I would recommend that you check out Suspension Technique V1 for your car. ST coilovers are made by KW Suspension as well so lifetime warranty will apply! I'll drop you a PM with some pricing as well.

i have no idea. lol call up LT BMW in cali, they have specials on ST coils, many members have gone there for their special. they probably have the most experience with them.

from what ive seen on the forum, people love them. may not be as good as KW, but def good enough.
