Hi Brudders! Well, it's time for me to do a major suspension overhaul for my car and one thing that needs immediate addressing is my shocks and springs.I'm no fan of ultra lowered cars because I believe that the Ultimate Driving Machine should allow me to drive through the daily obstacles that I face like speed bumps and carpark ramps without having to worry about scraping my undercarriage everytime. I'm also a family man and I do carry 4 passengers with luggage often. Ultra lowered cars are not Ultmate Driving Machines to me, they are Ultimate Racing Machines. well that's just my opinion but I feel a car lowered by about 20mm will do me just nicely. My question is: What aftermarket combination of springs and shocks for the E34 will allow a ride height like that shown in the following 2 pictures. This is my current ride height which is caused by semi dead springs. I don't mind a firmer ride but I don't want to lower more than 20mm
Most of the major brands for springs lower the E34 by at least 30mm - Eibach, H & R, Apex, B & G etc. Maybe you can check out Terra?
Hi Bazet, your ride looks higher than mine. Does she scrape bottom often in parking lot ramps and speed bumps? Would adding a 10mm spring pad raise ride height or just make your springs stiffer? Anyone know?
nope...... I have no problem with speed bump nor park ramp.... The only problem I've encauntered with my E34 was...rear wheel have no grip to climb a steep car park @ Putrajaya swimming pool
