Shock Mounts + Proper Coilovers + Install = Over $2k easily... but you drive a 335i, and bought 19's for it... why not finish it properly?

Would probably do a cup kit if I did lower it! still an easy $1500..

Why not finish it properly? Because It looks decent the way it is and I cant justify that. I need to stop spending money like a jackass, I am in not in any financial position to be doing that.

For those who are going to go- "Why don't you just have daddy buy it for you?"
Well, frankly, daddy doesnt buy stuff for me like he did 2-3 years ago. I am more the less "On my own" When it comes to luxury good such as coils/cup kit for the car... *Gasps, I know I know..

But really... Would If I could justify it! At least the rims are an asset that I can turn around and get at least 50% of the money back when I sell them in a year...

I really dont want to toss another grand+ into my car.
I would lower it on just springs, but I want to avoid the strut wear as much as possible...

+1 haha. Thanks man

I concur about the drop... However, a 8mm-10 mm spacer wouldnt hurt! The tires are nasty wide 275/30/19-- I want them wide as possible w/ out some fender rolling. I can sneak away w/ 8-10..

Thanks guys. +1, I dont think people realize how much better a drop makes a car like this look. The Matte Black look is harddd to pull off. I need to coils/spacers/few other subtle black accents.

Because of this stance!
If I do drop it, the car will be in the garage during the winter...

A lot of people dont like the "Ghetto" look to it.. I enjoy it, I think its aggressive. Females/anyone older in particular hate the rims, its weird... I suppose because it looks so juvenile

Work in progress guys, thanks for the constructive criticism..

Just get coilovers.

black wheels on a white car isnt hard to pull off...its actually really common......and spacers dont make ur wheels any wider sorry...

Agreed.

Why on earth would you want it any lower? The top of the tire is already nearly below the wheel arch. Any lower and the top of the wheel will be covered up. If you only drive it in the summer sure, but fuck that shit if it sees snow, getting stick in 1/8 of an inch. I will agree on the spacers though, not nescessary, fit looks great there.

Uh... coilovers?

Anyway, I've got 19's that are 9.5 wide in the rear and they are pretty much tucking all tire. Just slam it, you'll have to roll your fenders for sure if you slam that and get spacers.

Don't listen to him, you need to SLAM this asap... Why do you need spacers? I like the fitment now and if you go out farther you're going to have rubbing issues when you lower it.... I saw the pics on FB and 1st thing I thought was it looks dope...

+1 haha. Thanks man

Needs to be dropped like 2 inches, you don't need spacers you'll rub the shit out of the inner lip if you get them.

just saw you drive by 32nd and was like WOW thats hot!, nice car man, I think a drop would make this thing sexy as hell, and if your going for spacers I wouldnt go more then maybe a 10mm IMO
