Right my e30 cabbi has been lowered causing wheels to camber out insanely. I was looking on the net as some wheel alignment guys were telling me their are kits to allow you to adjust this. Is their anyone selling in uk and if so are they worth it wi the adjustment stay put!!!

DanThe is the man you want to contact on here, but it's simpler to just raise the car back to where in handles properly and gives a degree of comfort. I just don't get this desire to make your car look like its suspension has collapsed!

To get it back to stock you'll need to search out a set of OE springs - fronts to suit whatever engine you have, and rears for a cab. or touring.
If you want a little lower than standard, then the limit is about 35mm, and Eibach or H&R do quality versions of these.
Have a look at your dampers (shock absorbers) as well. The average idiot who lowers a car so far as yours appears to be either reuses the original 100,000+ mile dampers, which will have a fraction of the damping power they should have, or fits some cheap, rock hard ebay rubbish.
If the need changing, Bilstein B4 are the ones you want.
