Best way to slightly lower the frontend

[e34musician]

Everything looks good on a stock setup, except that I just don't like the gap that is too big at the front wheel wells. It's worst when you park facing up hill. Any quick suggestion on slightly lowering the frontend (say 0.5"-1")? I don't want to touch anything on the back. It looks good already.

Thanks,
Pete

2 cm. sounds perfect! What do I have to buy? New springs and new shocks? Will this M-tech be able to handle the V8 weight?

Thanks,

Well M-tech is expensive when buying new.Second hand are hard to find.
You could look for Biltstein shocks and Eibach springs.Those are good.
As i know will it take the weight of a V8.
For my 17" wheels i could use the M5 front mounting or the V8.I took the M5 suspension.I took allso the powerflex bushes.This is complete front and rear.
If you only want to do it in front you better look for the Eibach and Biltstein.
They even sell complete sets.

I went with Eibach/Bilstein on my 530. I'm really liking the combination. Nice handling, looks, etc. Not too low and never bottoms out.

bilstein suck. M-tech should work out great as they dont lower the front of the 6 cyl cars much.

I agree but as an alternative its the best choice i think.

idk man, I'm liking them so far, but the roads in NJ might be in better shape than where you live.

I have bilsteins on my '34 and my brother has them on his e28, and they work very well on both!
