Nice car. 60 + 40mm. thee tell tale is the lack of stupid camber / chaffage at the rear. Looks perfectly judged for the size of wheels to me

Yeah I agree 60mm front and 40mm rear, mines 60mm at both ends and is lower at the back but the same at the front as Aza's.
Needs a rear spoiler imo

It's more than just a car dear!

I have the old 60/40 on mine aswell, used to be 60 all the way round before, & have to say the 60/40 is the best compromise for an E30 on 17"s.

Doesnt look nearly as low as mine at the front and thats a 60mm drop. Nor does it have the usual 60/40 stance

definitely 60 front but rear looks slightly more than 40, either 50mm with worn subframe bushes or 60mm with good bushes

I'm not sure, I like the look of it without a spoiler, looks really clean.

Lol, i know a lot of people who would say that. I personally think its perfect, the front end sits nicely over the wheels and it doesn't look like it has fucked springs at the rear. I like it.

That pic makes me want a set of reps actually.lol

It looks 60/40 but why not measure it and a car with known springs and compare the results???
This is why I no longer drive an E30......

17's? I'd say 40.. Surely on a 60 with wheels that size you'd be losing the tops of the tyres?

I'd say it was 40 all round. I'm sure mine looked slightly lower at the last ace meet Aza.
