I'm pretty happy with the way my 325ix handles bone stock, but there is just too big of a front fenderwell gap for my liking. There is almost no gap in the rear. Anyways, it's not too easy to find a set of decent lowering springs for an ix. I've been thinking of taking a coil or two off the front stock springs along with new struts. I always thought this was a really bad thing to do, but Gordon from the ix registry did it and he doesn't seem to be complaining. I was hoping to get some input or experiences from some of you to help me in my decision. I'm apprehensive about cutting the springs, but if a bunch of you say it's caused no problems, then I'll probably do it. Thanks in advance:)
