sorry, the missing text should read.... " want it to look good, but dont want the car to rub everywher i go"

also forgot to mention that my car has go m tech suspenion already, so i am assuming it already a bit lower that standard.

thanks

M-tech suspension is -15mm lower than standard. fitted to all sports and the 318is

You can get away comfortably with a 40/40 drop.

Quite a number of people have 60/60, but flat roads would be advised.

I know this applies to the saloons, but I have no idea why it would possibly be different for a cab.

If you've got funding, road going adjustable-coilovers and camber correcting top mounts or something would be ideal. Go as low as you want. Suffer problems, higher it up a bit.

I think if you just want springs, dont go anything beyond 40/40. A full set of springs and shocks would be recommended.

I can do any/all spax kits discounted for you if you're interested. If you actually want a 'low' car, 60/40 or 60mm all round, or coilovers.

By rubbing do you mean on the floor, or the tyres?

i mean rubbing with tyres, want it to be low but i dont want to have to watch out for every bump or pothole on my route all the time.. thanks
