Well its been over a year since I got mine,

IIRC it's e92 pads, but double check the e30 ones aswell,

If you want a decent drop then get top & bottom (can't hurt to replace the bottom ones aswell).

That's all I can remember right now.
if it's got t*ts or wheels it's bound to be trouble...............prove me wrong.
getting oral sex off an ugly person is like rock climbing.....don't look down ;)

Rear spring pads come in all sizes in about 1.5mm increments iirc.
There is certainly everything from about 3mm up to the poor roads spec with something stupid like 20mm.

What do you feel is the minimum pad thickness one can get away with for a road car (not a daily driver)?
