Steeda Ultra Lite Linear Stance

[Todd15Fastback]

Ebay.

I did a thread in this section with all details, do a search for spring pad spacer under my name it should bring it up.

But you just need E36/E46 BMW pad spacers in 6mm or 8mm, I went 8mm and when they arrive increase the inner diameter to 3.25" and then put them between spring isolator and cars body at top.

Thanks:cheers:

Check replies as a few other US guys done this as well now with success and they linked to parts they got.

As our cars have a leverage ratio the ride height increases 50% over pad thickness so:
6mm = 10mm
8mm = 12mm
10mm = 15mm
12mm = 18mm


I went 8mm which gives me a 12mm height increase which you can see picture of before and after in above thread. When I go 20" wheels with 275 front and 295 rear I will see how it looks but with the 19" stance is perfect, nice rake and perfect wheel arch gaps with no change in handling.

You are awesome!!! Me personally, I would do 6mm as 10mm is just below a .5" which would be perfect to me

Yeah if the gap is a bit much on 20" wheels I can swap in a 6mm pad spacer, quite easy to do and spacers don't cost much.

I am in 20's now.

I just measured my fender height. My garage floor is level. Front sits ar 27 5/8' and rear sits exactly the same, 27 5/8".

post up a side profile shot.

You want to match the arch gap in the front minimum and ideally have 3-5mm more gap in the rear to give true impression of rake.

Can anyone post up a pic of what camber bolts are used to be adjusted in the rear?

Can I be honest, I feel like the Steeda Ultralites (at least in the photos I've seen on this forum) lower the rear too much OR don't lower the front enough. I understand actual height is different between F and R fender, but I want the wheel gap to be much closer (to the same) front and rear. With these, I am seeing more gap up front than the rear. Can this just be the tire selection of folks? I'd be doing 275-35 and 305-35 tires.

Nope the rear drop is too much, hence why I used spring spacers.

In an ideal world the front would be an additional 5mm lower and rear 10mm higher in a perfect world.

But I love the stance on my car now with spring spacer.

I think so too, to the point where I'm thinking of selling my NIB ultralights for something else. I bought springs to help get rid of the reverse rake, not keep it.

Why not do as I did and just fix it with spring spacer, they cost like $50

I just don't feel like I should have to spend more to "fix" the springs. Not knocking the springs or steeda. Steeda is great, and I'm sure the springs do a good job. But if I had seen all these pictures on the thread I would not have ordered these. Maybe the sport linears or something, as those pictures don't seem to have the reverse rake look. Not sure.

I Have to disagree completely... the rear drop not only looks great, it's functional as well.
