| Tein S-Tech Springs provide a
slightly more aggressive and
raked stance than your stock suspension while still maintaining a
comfortable
ride. Tein Springs will also fit your E46's stock shocks and are a great and
affordable way to increase handling
while and give your BMW a lower stance.
On average Tein S-Tech Springs will lower your vehicle 1.5 - 2 inches,
providing for a lower center of gravity and
improved handling. Sport Springs feature
more control than that of the OEM springs, but
are still comfortable for daily use. Sport springs are an excellent choice for street and occasional track use.

About Lowering Springs |
 |
Aftermarket springs are commonly used to lower the ride height and to
reduce body roll. This is also often done when upgrading to a larger wheel and tire package. Generally speaking, the stiffer the spring rates (the amount of resistance a spring is set for against compression), the softer the sway bar setting can be set in order to achieve a similarly flat cornering response.
When trying to decide which lowering springs are right for you, your goal should not be to drop down the car as far as possible. In many cases, overly "slammed" cars may actually be illegal for road use and terrible performers. The ideal range of adjustment should be 0.5 to 2 inches using traditional lowering springs. Any lower, the height of the perch should be adjusted by using a ride-height adjustable coilover suspension. |
