Mtech Springs on 318i 2000 pre-facelift

[joeylow]

Guru,

The ride height looks exactly like what I want. Not too low and not to high like right now. Only running on 17's so should not be a problem. Don't wanna slow down dead slow when I hit a speed bump. The mrs and my 1 year old daughter ain't gonna like it.

yup.. that's right. the 18's fill the arches better and makes the gaps look closer.
in actual fact, the ground clearance is about the same compared to stock m-teknik setup with 17's.
i kinda miss the stock look too!

 

[Riezal-R]

Guru.. are you running staggered setup with the 18s? My handling with non-staggered 18s not as good as the stock setup with 17s.

But i like the m-tech springs. Good balance between performance and comfort.

 

[guru]

non-stag.. but corner like racing car lah.. I don't drive fast but like to layan corners.

Stormbringer,

I doubt you can get the same price as me, I know the guy pretty well and I own a workshop myself. Anyway I got the springs from Stuttgart in Taman Mayang, the industrial area near the old Lim Kok Wing. I think normally it will retail for around RM500 - RM600. I have seen some guys on this forum selling it for RM750.

rafe,

Do you know where the old Lim Kok Weng College is in Taman Mayang? They are located in the light industrial area next to it. Easy to find as there is only 4 rolls of factories there.

You can look for Ah Chuan - can say you are joey's friend. Maybe he might give you the same price. I cannot guarantee though. As the price in my posting is a workshop cost for the springs. Customer's price might be higher.

But if you don't mind the bumpyness why not try a set of Eibach or H&Rs. I heard that they are lower and gives a more aggressive look.

Guys,

Need some help. I have just changed to 17's and would like to have my ride lowered but not change my shocks(as they are new BOGE std items). I heard that I can get away with a set of Mtech springs. Slightly lowered height, comfortable and also slight increase in handling. I was offered a set for RM450. Can anyone give me some advice on whether I should take it?

How much of a drop in ride height am i looking at?
