To drop or not to drop...that is the question

[danewilson77]

I'm thinking about going lower in the front. What say you.

This is a voting thread.

Thanks

NO...Looks perfect!!

Based on your near miss with that curb yesterday I say leave it for safety sake.

Plus it looks perfect as is.

"I'm afraid you can't do that . . . Dane". Me, on the other hand, I could use a drop but I can't justify the expense and staying stock.

Agreed. Imola curbstops are always out of fashion!

Keep at current height. Looks great!!

[johnrando]

Hard to really tell from this pic. It really looks good. I'd drop it more if it was me.

[fredo]

My vote is "no" ... I believe your ZHP looks great as is !

Can we get a picture of the front side? Need to see wheel gap better....

Edit: Profile picture helps. Desktop FTW- Voted no, leave it.

[Avetiso]

Maybe a little bit. I like a tiny amount of rake on the car.

[NoVAphotog]

What are you doing Dane? Do you want to be like this S2k? :P

no mas. voted yes before i seen how low.

[e3thekid]

Keep as is, man. Looks great.

[pfr]

Looks great and is more practical the way it is...

[sillieidiot]

go lower lol or just raise the rear a little bit if you want it to look even

Yeah I voted not to touch it based on your sig pic, but honestly, I agree with this. I'm not a huge fan of the 'squatted' look that most lowered BMWs have. I prefer even wheel gap (or lack thereof).

[danewilson77]

Wouldn't lack of wheel gap be squatted?

Lack of wheel gap equally between front and rears... Regardless of distance of fender edge to ground, I prefer all 4 to have equal gap... See below...

This I am NOT a fan of... To me, back end looks squatty, and wheel gaps are different...

This to me is much better...

Then again Dane, it could just be the pics you posted... Hard to tell...

[danewilson77]

Right. So you like rake. I do as well.

Great minds think alike... So when are you painting it Alpine White?? :biggrin

[danewilson77]

Never. Thanks for asking though.

Leave it. I was hoping "Leave it and add spacers" would be an option

[danewilson77]

It has spacers.

I looked pretty critically at it today, and I think I'm gonna drop the front 0.5", to snug up the wheel gap, fore to aft.

KW's are all the way down in front. I had removed the helper springs before but hated the ride. It's this or I raise the rear a smidge.

@ Carbon...you were 50% correct. I do not have spacers on the front. I had forgotten that I sent them to Joop.
