heating the springs up would be the logical decision

That's unsafe in so many ways and will throw off the handling of the car. I can't believe someone would buy a 330i and can't fork out 200 bucks for H&R's. If he wanted to go cheap, he should have just cut one coil off the springs.

he even posted he had Tein springs sitting around, but was rubbing w/o lowering. Sounds like the tool didn't buy wheels that fit right
