Guys,

I am trying to find a kit with a 40/40 drop as i feel my current 60/60 is way tooo low and getting on my nerves.

I have tried looking for such kits for my 325i cab but to no avail anyone please please help me

Cheers

Tom

try the e30 zone shop, there is a link near the top of the page to it. I'm sure there is a 40 or 35mm drop avaliable for 325's
Bollocks to this 24v scrap!

I'll post up pics of my own touring with 60/40 kit - you may just like it.

I drive over alot of speed humps and carry lots of weight and I find this to be very very practical.

you say you got a cab? I can recommend the ones i got on mine, their AVO springs and drop it by 25mm all round, gap on the arches is pretty good and havent had complaints on them i had a 60mm all round previously and it was impratical as my body kit usually scraped the nasty humps!

Ive used avo springs on my old touring and it was good while it was new.

Taxi driver has them on his car and they wear out very quick.

Bloody good when they are new though! Nice drop, nice ride and decent handling.

just fitted the koni ajustable kit with 40mm drop, did this along with full powerflex bushes and whiteline upgraded front and rear roll bars and new front control arms and the difference is unbelievable....this was on the track however I think they'd be ok for the rd too.

Tried Koni stuff, not bad at all. However gets way too hard on higher settings on the shocks and car just skates around.

What are diameters of the Whitleline roll bars?
