Hi, I have a e85 with m-sport suspension and I need to raise the front by a few mm as my tyres are ever so slightly rubbing the arch when going through a compression at speed. Alloys are 400m's so have a lower offset than my old 108's so stick out a little further. Budget isn't massive so looking at 2nd hand or maybe go for a cheap set of Stance+ coilovers. So my question is are coilovers my only option or is there any other tricks I can do to raise the front slightly?
Cheers
 
Thicker spring pads?
Search on here as it’s been discussed recently somewhere.
 
Great shout and would be perfect, but the part number 31331135589 is currently unavailable:(

Thread 'Updated: Lowering my 2.5si by a negative amount'

From the day I bought my Z I was scraping the living hell out of the front splitter. I was used to the idea that it's a low 2-seater but it was ridiculous. Almost any shaped speed hump would grind. I did some googling and found that 2.5si's seemed to be prone to sitting low. I came across the BMW figures for ride height (and then lost them again - repeatedly. I could never seem to locate them reliably when I actually had the time to do some reading. Grrr) and eventually broke out the tape measure and got outside.

With 18s, BMW state 602mm rim to arch, +/-10mm when loaded up. Mine were 585...
