Rear Spring Pads
Re: Rear Spring Pads
Any part numbers for the 5mm pads and are they the smallest you can get?

Re: Rear Spring Pads
Hmmm that's interesting... I wish my rear could be highered up a few mm so maybe 10mm pads maybe in order
Is 10mm the thickest ?
Cheers

Re: Rear Spring Pads
Maybe the pads could be doubled up to give more thickness and raise the rear even more?

Sounds good.. I think I'll be going to BMW Monday and ordering a pair of 10mmZedonist wrote:Hi Liam
10mm is the thickest size, so should give you 5mm lift
As mines been lowered 30mm it sometimes catches the exhaust so 5-10mm lift would be ideal!

Re: Rear Spring Pads
I've doubled up spring pads before, from memory the top pads are easier to doulbe up as it incorporates a bump stop which you cut out of the 2nd pad so it fits over. On the bottom spring padthere isn't enough height on the locating part to double up.

Re: Rear Spring Pads
Just want to thank you guys for raising this topic so timeously!!! My springs are being changed on the 27th, and as a result of this topic, I checked out the "pad" requirements on real OEM. Since these have never been changed since production, I figure it will be a cheap and wise idea to do a new replacement of these while the springs are being done anyhow.
Cheers guys..
