I just watch this whole video... I own a 06 Carolla
🤣
🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤜🏻🤛🏻
I just watched it all too and i don’t even have a car
I own a 98 corolla and i just watched this lol
a couple hours! you're work is amazing, this would take me 2 days to complete all 4 wheels. bravo.
that color on the G20 looks gooooood
In my opinion, this color, dravitgrey, looks totally boring!!! It looks only good in bright sunlight, but not in the dark and at night!
Absolutely agree with you - Found myself looking at the paint more than the lowered car.
Same here! I install eibach spings and add 12mm spacers on all 4 wheels! Another car!😮💪🏻
You guys are killing it with the tut, keep at broski
By far one of my favorite BMW colors, polished out that color is incredible 👌🏻. Kies is the King of BMW 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Dude, your flow is comin in hot
Great video Brian!
Amazing vid, amazing car.. I have these exact springs on my f30 and they are amazing. Looking to upgrade to a G20 M340i (non xdrive) in the near future and considering going with the Super Sport springs for that extra sexy look. Keep up the great work Brian!
Excellent work!
Great content! I’ve seen on the evolve channel that they never take out the front strut to replace the springs. They merely disconnect the knuckle, and unscrew the damper. Then they tilt the strut outboard and pull the spring right off and replace it with the lowering spring.
Espectacular vídeo! Very detailed and instructed information! Thanks
Good detail and Lots of nice tips (that apply to many other types of work), thank you. Jon
Perfect video👌🏻 I live vicarious through those who can go low. No go-low for me 😕
love the videos, keep up the good work!
Very helpfull video, just lowered my g20 with h&r
Great video was always Brian, I am from Recife in Brazil South America and thanks for sharing…
It does look awesome
It looks amazing 👏 , this is what the new m3 should have looked like , with the flared arches
Awesome job bro
I’d love to roll into Kies with my f30 and about 5 grand, go nuts!
kies motorsport ftw 🔥🔥🔥
You gotta get yourself a spring tool that’s mounted on the wall. You put the strut in & it has a hand crank. You tighten down the spring, take the nut off & take the strut out. Way better/safer than that one. Wall mounted is a lot sturdier & you have a lot more control too…..✌🏻🏁
the most reliable bmw dad out there
I remember when I was in high school, we just jack the car up and cut the coils-spring. Quick and easy, But then the car sit so low it drag everything with it. I remember we had to replace an oil pan after we ran across a few speed bumps. 😆
Bryan, do a follow up on this car. I’d like to know how much more it dropped after settling and the way it rides now.
Hey. I kno options are slim. But for the m340i xdrive. Which lowering springs do you recommend. And a question on top of that. Bc of the adaptive suspension and how good it is. U recommend lowering springs or would u still do coilovers. Love the content. Great videos
what changes are made to the adaptive driving controls when you change the ride height from factory? (1st ever BMW so excuse my ignorance here) I have an 2021 M340i Xdrive
Same request here for adaptive suspensions
Great video man!! I was wondering if I lower the front suspension of my F15 V8 BMW 2014 would the rear suspension follow the front by itself since it's self leveling?
Love those centre caps, any chance you could put a link for them?? Love your videos.
Any thoughts of cutting the bump stop? Sort of like Dinan sells.
Will this lower kit work with adaptive set up?
Great video! Is an alignment needed afterwards?
How do these work with the adaptive M suspension? Also, what wheels are those on the black car behind you?
Bryan, first off...your videos are very helpful. Super informative and easy to follow. Keep up the great work.
I am getting a G80 M3 and plan to install lowering springs myself. Would you say the method and all the tools required in this video would apply on the G80 M3 as well?
I just purchased a g80 2021 m340I
Do they offer a lowering spring kit? Also which spacers are you running with this drop? Looks sick and awesome content. Keep up the great work
3 months to late for me, but at least I know I did it correctly. Car looks amazing
Do you recommend replacing any bolts/nuts? Any 1 time use stretch bolts?
This job is practically identical the the F30 lowering springs job. Good to know.
is this close to the same process? but installing coilovers?
With that front lip his car looks slammmmeedd 😂🔥🔥🔥
That went way lower than I expected!! Looks comparable to the H&R super sports on my f30 335i.
H&R always too low and hard in my book. I'd go with Eibach.
I’d like to know how she drives/handles compared to stock.
Would springs only put extra ware on the rest of the suspension?
Ha! I call 'em "push pins" too!
what can happen if the bolt of the rear toe arm is tightened with a torque more than 100 nm ?
At 30:17 Bryan says there is a H&R Super sport for the G20. Does anyone have a part number? I cannot find super sports for the G20 at all. Only Sports.
Is the procedure the same on a 540i xdrive G30?
Does this still have the 15mm spacers all around? I’m scared of lowering and rubbing with the 15’s
How does it handle tho? Does it sway since the camber is off?
if i have the adaptive suspension can i still put these on?? i really wanna lower my car any answers?
Which front lip is that? It looks bigger than the m performance with extensions.
Hello guys i have a quick question i have a 2021 BMW M340I bone stock the other day i was playing with the launch control and my son notice the boost gauge was boosting over 20lbs i thought stock PSI was lower. I read to different PSI on a BMW forum one it was 8-11 PSI one other person said it was 15.8PSI BUT THEY DIDNT SAY WHAT YEAR M340I THEY WAS TAKING ABOUT
does it matter whether or not the car is RWD or AWD for these springs?
Will ThIS work if you want tô run 20 inch wheel?
Took my M 340i xdrive to the dealer to replace runflats by conventional tires. The guy there told me that I could not do it as the car behaviour and dynamics would be screwed up due to the different suspension set up. I guess they do not have clue...I have seen M340i xdrive lowered by tuners without issues. However how the adaptive suspension works with new springs, will this shorten the life of the shock absorbers?
Wow, I felt like this is more work than to swap the turbo.
What size of spacers are on front and rear ?
What size are the bolts that need replacing
Any rubbing issues after the install?
Very good work and good explanation how you perform this work.
In my opinion, almost all lowering springs take G20 too low. It would be super nice for just 15-20mm lowering. Like M-Sport suspension, but just little bit more.
Eibach, H&R etc are "slammed". Not good for poor roads.
There is a set that lower it .5 inches lower than m sport. I forgot the nMe of the brand
In terms of looks, I think almost all of them lower the rear, proportionally, too much. Dinan is perfect 28.5mm front, 19mm REAR. Megan Racing isn't bad either 26mm Front, 25mm Rear. With slightly shorter sidewalls you can compensate for any negative rake.
What light are you using
👍👍👍perfetto😜😜
Nice
👊🏼
Can you elaborate on the "pass through" socket you needed to remove the top hat from the front struts? I don't see those linked anywhere.
Do any codes come up after installation?
My wheels are 19" and my tires are 235 width.. i have these springs ready to be installed and i have 12mm spacers on them... will i have trouble steering all to the left or right witj a 235 width? Because i see that these are 225
Where can i find the E-Manuel with the corque specs?
Would this void warranty?
Great video Bryan. I really appreciate what you put out. Question though. How did you find the ride after lowering it? I want mine to look great but I dont want to compensate the ride quality. I know I can go for the coil overs but I'd be happy just go springs if the ride quality wasn't affected. Thanks again! Frank from downunder 🙂
It's hard for the ride quality to be not affected, usually the sport spring give a stiffer ride
I would also like to know just how much different it rides, how much comfort is sacrificed, and if overall it’s a good change that is worth it.
About to do mine! Getting some people telling me that it’s not safe to install on the lift because it’s gonna be too low after the installation but seems like you had no problems, unless if their are, have any tips on getting it off the lift safely?
How much will your charge for a g30?
Does this require smaller bump stops?
Bmw m power 😃✌
I've heard those bolts that require the extra 90 degree turn are HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to be replaced. How serious do you think it is?
It's what the service manual says to do. The bolts are cheap, so why not? They are torqued to yield like cylinder head bolts.
How much did the whole thing cost?
how much would you charge me to install these on my car???
The suspension bolts are torque to yield. 100Nm plus 90 degrees. They should be replaced, not re-used.
After watching those front strut, how can u tell it was an easy job for an BMW
are the rims on 20? r 20 ?
Alternate title: “How to make your car impossible to get under, scrape your bumper on driveways and speed bumps, and irritate tow truck drivers”.
Thats just dumb. You dont have to slam your car. Like i lower mine only about 3cm, and its perfect. I can park and drive normaly. Dont scrape and can work on it. So yea. If you wanna go rly low then air suspension. With springs it would be tooooooo stiff. Bmw i have a f36
@@WasteOfTimeDude depends on the roads, if you drive on highway it s nice but daily through city traffic and bad roads it won t be pleasure to drive it
Will this be the same with the m adaptive suspension?
Looking for the same answer..
@@Pa-hy1te same here as well
H&R, Eibach Sportline and Eibach Pro Kit works for all suspensions: Standard, M and M adaptive.
I have a 2021 M Sport 330i. Debating on if I should lower it. What are the cons to doing this ? Looks sick
I considered doing this myself and opted to stick with the stock suspension setup, BMW spends millions $ on research and development to get stuff like this just right for the car and I figured it wasn’t worth messing around with just for that 1” lower look
Go with diff specs of tires like 235 45 19 front and 265 40 19 rear and you will fill void more without loosing comfort drive when you drop it with springs
I sooooo wish I had hair like Bryan...
I thought when lowering on springs, you suppose to cut the bump stop, to prevent it from bottoming out?
You can do that if you find you are hitting the bump stops often, not required though
Does this mod kill the comfort?
I'd imagine it depends somewhat on the spring choice
Hey where are the torque specs?
You didn’t add alot of the links in the description
What is the name of that color on the car being lowered?
Dravit grey metallic
What would I expect to pay for a job like this?
I'll be back when i buy one in a couple of years..
👍👍👍
How is the ride quality compared to the stock after the lowering spring installation?
Hard and bumpy
doesnt this ruin the stock absorbers over time?
I’ve heard from different people on the forums that the impact isn’t TOO negative on the dampers, but it does cause them to wear a little bit faster than normal. I think it would be pretty tough to measure due to all of the other variables involved. I would count on them wearing out faster than they would on stock springs. Someone smarter than me on this could probably give you a better estimate as to how many less miles to expect out of your stock dampers.
When r going to do a tutorial on how to install a methkit
Cheap is correct, easy? I'll just bring it into the shop lol. Tools and efficiency, I do not have lol.
If you wrap the spring in a towel or heavy blanket you can remove it without injury. I'm sure youtube has a video. Not a fan of lowering. Looks good. But not really drivable.
Me watching this with only $30
in my bank account. 🤔💡💀
What car u got
Cheap..yea😌, but easy...I don't know 💁
