Hi Guys,
Ive been thinking about lowering the car :119: To make it look a bit Wider n meaner!
Anyone have any thoughts, Regards Handling etc How it would be affected? Also if anyone does of a Black CSL Preferably could you post some pics thanks!

Well here's the answer i got off Another BMW Site!

CSL springs are very progressive, especially the fronts (~4 coils). The shocks are also more heavily damped to suit the springs.

Most aftermarket springs are too soft to suit the CSL shocks (softer springs, harder dampers = car that changes direction slower).

If driving is your main focus, stick with the OEM or if you want better adjustability, you need to get a set of coilvers to really justify the upgrade.

Well Put id say!!! So She stays the way she is! :thumbs:

Ok here is Thorney's car with KW's on at the back of the pic, mine in front on standard set up.

Not the best angle , and best quality , only on iphone so not good for pics, but you can get a feel for how low it sits, admittedly this is on the lowest setting , so can be adjusted , but he swears by them, and this is his road car , and it does handle V V well !
