I need to lower my 316i 1989 saloon e30 thats just clocked up 50.000 miles.



I don't wont a to harder ride so my teeth chatter.


Will just changing the Springs do the job or do you think a complete kit would be better with the age of the car.
What do you guys recommend as the better kits / springs ....... HELP

Tryed to post a pic but did not work !

Thanks Stevo

Your Car look good.

ECP ? Is that Euro Car Parts ..

Will I need any special tools to remove the springs other than spring compressors.
