How To Adjust Lowered Suspension On 2003 E46

Hi guys

I've recently bought a 2003 330Ci Sport - which I absolutely love!

The previous owner lowered it and fitted BMW sport springs - and although it drives perfectly and looks great, I'd just like to raise it by an inch or so just to give it slightly better clearance.

Does anyone know if there is a guide no how to do this, or know how simple it is to do?

Cheers

Paul

    i think the only thing you need to buy is new springs obviously with a longer height than what you have...then its just a case unbolting the shocks,replacing with new springs and its job done.gav is the man to ask about this as he has lowered a couple of 46's now
