Just finished with the add-ons to my Ti (Koni adjustables, H&R Sports, 16" wheels w/ michelin pilots, etc.). Better? This is how I bought it:  This is after the work:   |  |  | | 07-18-2008, 03:33 PM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: asdfasdf Posts: 10,002 |
the front looks lower than the back, but other than that, definitely an improvement over the way you bought it | | | | | 07-18-2008, 03:40 PM | #3 | | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2007 Location: Eugene Oregon Posts: 6,182 |

Looks good. Maybe the new suspension needs to settle in... __________________ Clever but we are clueless...

mine took a little to settle in lower so yes maybe since yours is fresh and brand new it may take a week or so __________________

The new lowered stance makes the ti look so much better. Wish they came like that from the factory. Did you get the Koni yellows? I got H&R sport springs but look much lowered. Give it time to settle. | | | | | 07-18-2008, 09:01 PM | #7 | | NOBODY F's with the Jesus Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: Ventura California Posts: 7,824 |
Not feelin the wheels or the high profile tires, but that's just my opinion. Did you purchase suspension specifically for the 318ti? It looks like you may have got 6cyl e36 components. I know a few people with the same spring/shock combination and their cars sit much lower. It's definitely an improvement from what it was, but there's a lot left to be desired. Keep up the good work. __________________ 4 MORE YEARS BABY!!! | | | | | 07-18-2008, 09:13 PM | #8 | | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2007 Location: Eugene Oregon Posts: 6,182 |

Looks awesome dude, I can't wait to get H&R's on mine. Springs definitely need time to settle just give it a couple of weeks. __________________ ~Dave~

Keep up the good work. | They're actually lower profile tires than the 15 inch tires they replaced (but they do look kind of big, yeah). I ordered the springs from the tire rack specifically for the Ti, and it specified the 318ti on the box, so I hope they're the right ones. | | | | |
