This 335is came to the shop looking to gain a little more hp and to add a slightly wider stance as well. To do this an ESS Tuning ECU "E-Flash", 10 mm and 20 mm H&R spacers were selected to do the job. First on the list was the added power and the ESS Tuning flash does just that to the tune of about 54 added hp for a total of 382hp with stock intercooler (392hp with upgraded intercooler).
The 335is came back to us looking to gain a little more grip in the turns and to get the stance closer to the ground. To do this a full ProSystem Eibach Suspension Kit that consist of new springs, front struts and rear shocks was installed. Before starting the install all four corners were measured and recorded to find out just how much of a difference the kit made on this BMW. This system is pretty a straight forward kit during the install, however on the front upper strut mount the two "camber pins" are removed during the install to allow for adjustment during the alignment. With the new system installed the car was aligned and taken for a test drive to check for any rubbing issue, none were found.
Now for drop numbers:
L/F : Stock-665mm After-645mm
R/F : Stock-660mm After-642mm
L/R : Stock-636mm After-645mm
R/R: Stock-645mm After-643mm
Yes the car wasn't level when it came in, and yes the left rear is now higher than when we started, but the thing to notice is with the Eibach system the car is level as it should be with the 2mm higher on drivers side to compensate for driver weight.
