ECS Tuning Lowering Springs (1.4F/1.4R) - BMW F30/F32

Take your F3x to the next level with upgraded performance and aesthetics. Our ECS lowering springs are specifically designed with both handling and comfort in mind for the best mix of performance and drivability. With an average lowering range of 1.0"-1.4" you have the added benefit of lower center of gravity providing superior cornering and better steering feedback. Lowering springs not only increase handling performance they provide an astounding aesthetic upgrade by decreasing the wheel gap and giving your car a more planted/fitted appearance.

Designed specifically for your chassis our F3x lowering springs feature a linear style spring similar to a coilover. The issue with coilovers is the rough ride due to a drastic drop and much higher spring rates. When you have higher spring rate like coilovers it takes much more force to compress the spring which leads to a much more rigid ride. ECS lowering springs provide a happy medium between the factory suspension and coilover suspension. Our springs are stiffer than factory but softer than a coilover spring to achieve the balance of increased performance and aesthetics while retaining a comfortable ride.

What is spring rate?
You may ask yourself "what is the spring rate and how does it affect my ride?" Spring rate is the amount of force needed to compress a spring one inch. For example if you have a spring rate of 300lbs per inch it will take 300lbs of force to compress the spring one inch. An average coilover for your F3x has over 400 lbs/in for the front and over 500 lbs/in for the rear, this means that it will take over 400lbs of force to compress your front spring one inch and over 500lbs of force to compress the rear one inch. The higher the spring rate, the more rigid your ride is going to be. ECS lowering springs for your F3x have a spring rate of 184 lbs/in in the front and 462 lbs/in, an increase over factory but much less than a coilover. You can now both understand and explain the benefits of lowering springs to find the best solution for you. 

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

• Our ECS Tuning Lowering Springs were developed in-house, tested and inspected by our Research & Development team in our Wadsworth, Ohio facility. We strive for the highest level of precision and quality through leading-edge product development technology and methods, ensuring the necessary long term product testing was performed on multiple test vehicles in the harshest conditions available.

While upgrading your F3x it is a great time to add an ECS Flush Kit to widen your track width for an even greater look and driving experience. Be sure to check out the great selection of wheel spacer sets we have for your vehicle!
