theyre going to damage the shock seal by using pliers to tighten the top
mount bolts. idiots

Marc Wikina says:

Lowering spring with the old oem struts? 

atif khan says:

how much does it cost to get your car lower?

Wdiddy D says:

Damn what shop is this? So clean and professional nice job.

famous121809 says:

@xjmoe83 i found ones on amazon that loweres the fropnt 2.25″ and the back
2 inches. could i still use my stock shocks?

demossav says:

@smilie120 oh yeah. happened before

speedfreaks14 says:

what brand of those springs? eibach sportline? i used eibach sportline, and
the result is lower than yours..

Justin Hanneken says:

Bro, amazing video! Loved it! Very well done.

manuel barajas says:

if i buy lowering springs do i need to get the shocks especially made for
lowering springs? or can they be installed on the regular stock shocks?

findjf says:

highly recommend H&R spring street version for regular 330i and the race
version with Msport suspension for ZHP. The ZHP is already 0.6 inches lower
than the stock sport suspension.

randy hansen says:

cool video i have the same car and color of car! i want to drop mine real
soon i just put the m front bumper on it and it sits to high what brand
spings were those?

HockeySeanX says:

whats the point of 99% of videos on youtube.

xjmoe83 says:

I bet you were watching in hopes to learn how to install springs..Haha
Frustrated are we? 🙂

inktoxicated says:

man that mechanic looks money smooth. nice work

iiiYEDDLEiii says:

i`ve done that too, just with a different brand. Actually nice to see the
whole work again from the comfort of my chair 😀

stjimy says:

what kind of wheels have in you M3 man I really like those wheels, and what
is the difference bettween the OEM springs and the springs that you
installed in this video!!

soundlzrd says:

What kind of spring compressor is that? I am not having luck with the
cheaper ones from the auto parts store.

CurtShaw22 says:

If you wanted to lower your e46, its much easier to get wasted and leave
the club with 2 fat chicks

xjmoe83 says:

I think they drop it 1.6″ in the front and 1.0″ in the rear. Keep in
mind,if you have the 330ci ZHP package yours is already slightly lower than
mine was to start out. Thanks!

xfdgjkdfjgksfdjk says:

did u just change the spring and leave other parts stock? will it damage
the whole suspension?

1125245554 says:

you change only the springs?!

inktoxicated says:

did the dealer install this? how much for the install and the alignment

Junior Morales says:

@famous121809 depends how much ur lowering it 1-2 inches maybe not but more
then that it is recommended.

WillyMyWonka says:

before and after pictures? 🙁

bestmastermind951 says:

that spring compressors beast! how much will one of those runn for?

smilie120 says:

My friend said if you don’t have a coil retentioner or whatever the springs
could fly off and kill someone, any truth to this? Could they kill you?
Lol…

Goran Farkas says:

video looks fantastic, as well as the workshop. How low are those springs.
I have 330ci m sport, i was thinking getting ebach 1″ low….

snakepirates says:

hey man really cool video

olaf2046 says:

What is the Labor time and basic cost for that?

model876 says:

really nice, i have the same alignment machine in my boces shop 😀 but its
red :O

xavier villa says:

@demossav thank you, i see now(:

FivePotsPower_Lux says:

great video!

xjmoe83 says:

Yup,for the time being. The oem struts might wear a little premature but
they will be fine..

ScottUsaMTB says:

how many inches is that ??

yk10yk says:

@davisteelers14 I am sorry if someone feels bad after reading my comment.
It wasn’t my intention to be that way. But comments are here to comment and
that is exactly what I did. I didn’t learn anything after watching it. This
video has got nothing to do with me or my videos. There is no connection.
And if a video taken from one stand point with slow frame rate and added
sound track is “cool” then I’ve got nothing else to say mate.

Nicholas Sumlar says:

does installing lower springs mess up how the car drives…like does it
feel different driving it

xavier villa says:

@yk10yk to educate the minds of 15 year olds like myself.

CallMeJack08 says:

where can i get that sping compressor?

briant2828 says:

wow i wish i had a shop that looked like that

PresidentOfTheBlack says:

tight bruh

Mike R says:

@xjmoe83 Sir, I like the way you troll. haha

famous121809 says:

does anyone know if u need to buy new shocks when ur buying lowering
springs?

TheV8Holden says:

:O You guys work quick! Come do mine in a 1.29 🙂

John Allen says:

Very cool video.

Baguett says:

Might be a very dumb question, but is it normal that regular youths do this
wihtout taking the cvar to a workshop? or is it impossible without the
right tools?

dee drummer says:

this is like polishing a turd, shit car, loser procedure. fail

xavier villa says:

@CurtShaw22 but then you run the risk of bending your frame.. you noob.
haha just playing(: so the springs are the same length, just softer? or
what. and also, the springs are the original ones? is it better to change
the shocks AND the spring, or is it not necessary.? can somebody please
tell me?
