    04 325xi Lowering Springs?

    Hey everyone I recently bought a 5 speed 04 325xi with only 80k miles on it. I知 still in high school so I知 on a budget. Do you guys think I should save up for coil overs, or should I start with some lowering springs? If so, what springs would you guys recommend?

    Thanks

    I would go with a progressive spring such as H&R and matched strut inserts (bilstein, koni, etc.). I've cut stock springs before with good results but it is generally frowned upon.

    Exclamation You own a 14yo vehicle after all.

    If your budget is that tight, never mind upgrades yet,
    go over a list of manufacturer recommended or required maintenance,
    along with a preventive maintenance checklist.

    Awesome coilovers won't help at all when your vehicle runs badly,
    or not at all, due to deferred maintenance.
