WTB: Front Springs w/ 0.5" to 0.75" Drop

[Overlord475]

Hey guys,

Looking for a set of Front springs that will drop my 2004 ZHP ~1/2" to 3/4".

I like the stock rear height, but would like to close the gap up front a bit.

Anyone have a used set or suggestions on how to achieve this look?

On E30's there are drop hats that lower the car ~15mm. Are there E46 drop hats?

Thanks in advance!

Sounds like what I'm looking for :)
Now I just need to find a set of fronts

You can't buy just a set of front springs and even if you could, keeping the rears stock would probably give you some weird handling.

last time i looked sets were $229 for the 4 springs, fyi....xmas is coming....

i have seen an e46 aftermarket strut top hats that lowers the front 10mm. Unfortunately i can't remember the website i saw them on but maybe somebody on the board can chime in.

+1. That was exactly what I did. H&R Sports & Bilsteins Sports. Perfect drop. Perfect ride. I am one happy camper. This is one decision that I will never regret.

I recall E36 guys saying that drop hats really screw up suspension geometry, and the E36 and E46 are not so different. I was under the impression that the real world drop of the H&R Sport was more than .75", but I could be wrong.

I dropped almost 1" when I replaced to H&R Sports & Bilsteins Sports. No drop hats. And a great ride. Not hard. Not soft & springy.
