lowering my M6 coupe

Hi guys,


so i finally made move on a M6 coupe. I am looking into lowering the car (if the stock wheel gap is too big with 21" rims/tires on it) but i want to do a very slight drop. I see the H&R springs are a 1" drop front/back. I dont want the car bottoming out at all since i am putting the vorsteiner kit onto the car. I saw the KW HAS kit but those are also much more expensive. Does anyone have the H&R springs and a side profile picture of your car? is there any wheel gap? do you bottom out at all? can someone please give me some advice! thank you.

I have the H&R springs and 21's coming on the way. I am very happy with these springs. Have to go a little slower on dips, but it's worth it!

You can get the KW HAS kit and it's adjustable on all four corners. Ride quality is much better than springs as well.

i have H&R's and have had 2 different set of 21's. No rubbing at all. The drop is perfect for the car. If id do it again id probably go with the KWs but its if the price is an issue youll be very happy with the springs. Heres some pics. Same car just with and without wrap and different sets of wheels.

Here's bimmerpost member's Vic55 on H&R. Feel free to PM if you have any questions! We hook it up on the KW springs if you're interested let me know!







Here's an M6 we did, but lowered on KW HAS with the full Vorsteiner GTS Kit

I have mine lowered using the Dinan coil over kit. I really like the ride quality and the sharper handling. Currently it is lowered .75 but can be lowered another .5 inch if needed.

So I think I'll go with the kW has kit:

http://ind-distribution.com/ind/bran...h-a-s-kit-1312

So can someone confirm this link is the kit that I need correct? That's $1,169.00? Anyone have an idea of what install should be??
