Hi new here so go easy. Recently got my pride and joy a e30 325i msport. Currently the car has 40 mm lowering springs. They just a cheap set and stock shocks. Want Some opinions on what upgraded shocks and springs would be best. I live in the country, the car will only be driven a few times during the year , want it to look well n retain a bit off comfort , is it possible to go to 60mm n retain some comfort. And if I go this low will it affect the camber badly or hurt the car any way

I was on 60mm springs and the camber would kill a set of rear tyres in a few thousand miles, it was stiff but I put that down to the poly bushes so not much give there

It tracked well but on the road it was a bone shaker, I've now raised it to 35/40mm and love it
A bigger tyre profile takes the gap out so still looks good

I had shorter shocks in but couldn't tell you what they were as they were already on the car when I got it
I now have 35/40 springs and bilstein shocks on it

Ill get a photo of what it did to the tires (£105 each aswell)
That will warn you away from going that low
