Besides making it look hella tight :cool: , what effect does lowering the suspension have on handling/performance?

it generally tightens up the car, the e30 stock setup can give the car a sort of "bounce" "boaty" feel, its not really that bad, but it can be better. When you lower the car, it becomes more "sure footed" i feel, My car is still standard, and i am saving up to lower it, i think i am gonna go 35/35 on my car. :)

The effect all depends on what springs you use. Different springs have different spring rates, they might lower the same amount though.

All depends on what your looking for and what car you have.

Ruins traction and eats tyres!
