Bump4life Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 nice looks sick with plexi! also here is what I am tlaking about... see in this picture the cup that hold spring? in the cup there is a pad. you can get taller pads to raise ride height if your car suspension is set up similar which i bet it may be since its german like mine. this next picture you can see that the pad perfectly fits spring and allows you to adjust up to 1 inch! my rear is on tallest ones for the weight and the front is on second from lowest. its been sitting pretty good now even with about 200 lbs in my trunk now.

Ahhh, gotcha. What I could dig up quickly: http://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-4213-rear-spring-pads-pair-15mm.aspx BMW used three different spring pads in the E36 E46 3 series, each a different thickness, the thinnest being only 5mm. If they chose to use the thinnest pad on your car, you may end up with a ride height in the rear a little lower than you expected when lowering you car with sport springs. If this is the case, we suggest using these 15mm rear spring pads What's the details on yours? I couldn't find much aftermarket pads for mine.... Now that you mention it, the BMW dealer mentioned something to me about them not even finding any pads and something about the install being incorrect..... Maybe that's it.... I'll have to jack err up and take a closer look. Needs to be done fairly soon too, I'm starting to see oil deposits (or something) all over my front rims which is a bitch to wipe off every few days....

Wicks Posted August 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 Plexi milled to look like a circuit board? Lasered And yep, it has a circuit board "feel" to it.

Bump4life Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 For my car mercedes makes the pads OEM to account for the difference in weight from different engines and different options on the car.

SLYentist Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 We might have some OEM BMW springs for you to consider. Maybe E46 touring (wagon) rear springs will be stronger and taller. All our available parts are on eBay, take a look prussianmotors.com Cables and wires almost never fail; the terminations do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bump4life Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 We might have some OEM BMW springs for you to consider. Maybe E46 touring (wagon) rear springs will be stronger and taller. All our available parts are on eBay, take a look prussianmotors.com the problem with this is that the spring rates between the front and the back will be different and may effect handling. then again compressing the springs in the back probably gives a different rate as well. my guess is that they are progressive springs so when cornering hard they stiffen up. the load in the back simulates this.
