Best E46 coilovers for low?

[BavarianTurd]

So, in a few hours I will be going to test drive my next purchase, a very low mileage E46 330ci coupe. Now, my biggest concern is coilovers. I already have a wheel choice in mind, but what is going to give me the lowest low? My E36 sat the subframe less than an inch from the pavement, so I'm looking to sit there again. Any help appreciated. And does anyone know how low the oil pan is from the ground? And, finally, does anyone have a stock rear bumper for an E46 coupe? theres some hideous european tuning style bumper, only on the back.
Thanks!

Broadway Static coilovers are the best there is.
They are made to go low. But still ride mind-blowingly comfy.

I love mine. Slammed and not even all the way down.

Shoot me a PM and we can talk coils.

As far as oil pan clearance, the frame brace is the lowest part, and the pan is tucked up out of the way, you really have to try to hit the thing to damage it.

Go get a rear bumper from DDM.

I want broadways, but I'm cheap lol. I need coils less than $1000.

I was in the same boat, got mine (el cheapos, no Broadways), they're pretty shitty but do the job. Still have 1.5" of threads in the front and probably 1.25" or so of threads left in the back in my signature.

Racelands? I might go with rokkors (loved them on my E36), and a smaller tire size, I want to poke out these Style 68's. Kinda like 'em. I'm still in the market for some Style 95's, and a set of Varrstoen ES2's in matte white. Any leads?

Status Gruppe Tuning or Broadway Static.


I have the SGT, and a Friend of mine has Broadway. Id go with wither to get the best results.



edit- i see broadway is too expensive. Check out Status Gruppe Tuning. just google them and their site will pop up. they're a little over $1000 but they have a LIFETIME warranty. totally worth it IMHO.

Hmm. I think I'll just get rokkors for now and pick up some big boy coilovers during the winter.

winter is only a couple months away. instead of wasting the $200 or however much rokkors cost, why not just save that and wait a little longer

Rokkors are trash. You'll just be throwing money away. But your car, your call.

[BavarianTurd]

I liked them on my e36. They were good on my e36, didn't have any complaints. Right now I'm just looking for a cheap low, I plan to purchase some Broadway's next spring or early summer.

winter then spring then summer..........

winter then spring then summer..........

Absolutely **** stock ride height on any car. I've driven my E34 touring about 6 times in the past 3 months I've had it just because its stock height. doesnt need to be all fitment stanced out stretch poke whatever, just.... not stock.

Anyway.

Do M3 coilovers fit non-M's?


EDIT: thought I edited it last night. Decided to do things the right way and pick up BC coilovers. I kno a couple hundred more could get me sgt or broadway but this is what I can afford. Any pics of e46's on BC's? Any reviews?

[yoshioka90]

bc racing. contact flushstance they will help you out.

[vgrntbeauxner]

^but not if you want to go low with an e46. trust me.

afaik there's only one solid choice for low 46's: BS/FA
