Hello, I'm looking to lower my 318is to narrow the fender clearance but don't know which one to choose. Does anyone have any idea what is not?

Thank.

Tried and tested Bilstein B12 kit (B8 dampers and Eibch springs) pointless using anything else. 30-40mm front drop 30mm rear from standard (different if you already have Mtec springs)

I use a combination of Eibach shocks and H&R springs as I found the eibach springs didn't lower it at all in my experience. Its all in my "Members E30" page if you're interested :thumb:

I've got Eibach prolines on my car and it sits very nicely IMO. I have fitted them to other peoples cars too with good effect.
