Suspension and handling e36 318 mod.1993

[hjzul]

Hi. I just bought it last two weeks from a friend in Senawang, Seremban. The car is pretty good at the age of 16 yrs. However the car is considered too lowered and if you carry even two big guys, over a bumper the tyres will be producing the scratching sound . The last owner inform me he is using stock ab and HR spring (rear) and Eibach spring (front). Rims/tyres are standard 225/55/16. How to improve the height or any ideas/suggestion to improve the situation.

if i'm not mistaken, the correct tyre size for e36 is 225/50/16.
it could be also due to the absorbers. send to a mechanic to check if the condition of the absorbers are still ok.

FYI Front & rear spring must be from same brand.
