I would like to lower my '86 325i cab slightly.
Thinking about -35mm, but what brand. I certainly don't want it to be to low, just a bit lower to even out the wheel arches!
Anyone has pics to illustrate?
Something like this looks good, maybe even too low. It is -35mm KW.

I would say the pic above is more than a -35mm drop.

Eibach are a popular choice (not 100% they do a set for cabs, although I'm sure they do) as are H&R but I think they make for a stiffer ride..

definitely more than a 35mm drop, but the tires look a bit baloon like for 16's..

either way, go for quality over drop, eibach, kw etc.. & 35mm is just about right for a coupe, could be different for a cab..
