new wheels

Stock suspension
19x8.5 et 38 front 235/35
19x9.5 et 35 rear 255/30

Somehow the rear is sitting very high
Maybe it's because of the rear shocks I replaced a few days ago

My old wheels! Looks great on black

it should be springs that determine the ride height, not the shocks.

also, you have the front and rear offsets reversed. et35 front and et38 rear. like 3.2mc said, the shocks shouldnt affect the ride height. what kind of springs do you have?

they are stock

im looking for something to lowered the rear about 1.25"
and leaving the front as is

something is wrong... maybe with the installation of the rear shocks...

there is no way that front rake was designed by BMW. the rear looks higher than a non-sport LCI!

thats the way it is stock ...maybe rear springs broke and were replaced with something else
