Re: finaly dropped 40mm

Andyboy wrote:It also depends on what E30 you have. If it's a 4 cylinder or a 320i, it's worth adding a pair of 325i Sport anti roll bars. You'll get a pair for 50 quid.

Bilstein B4's work well with a 30mm drop, 40 should be okay but add a pair of new E36 Coupe front bump stops.
