Suspension dilema

strokeZ · 03-18-2014, 12:53 PM

Have a dilema. Just installed the Hammon front bumper and had H&R sport springs w Koni Yellows on the car. Before the stance was just right, handled like a dream and never bottomed out. Now with the new bumper I hit a small pot hole and did about $1000 worth of damage to the bumper!!!! I have the Dinan springs which I used before but they are hardly my preference. What choices do I have??? I cannot keep repairing the bumper and the secondary roads here in Houston are very uneven and filled with dips and pot holes. The bumper lip as it stands now is about 2-7/8" from the ground.

Thanks for any and all advice!

Air or crazy spring rates.

Eibach springs or coilovers. I had the non-M version of H&R springs on my non-M Z4's before, and they lower more than the advertised 1.5". Pretty much any other brand of springs will be able to raise your ride height.
