has anyone got these on their car? if so, why?
are they stronger than e30 items or is it purely for the 15mm extra drop?

worth it?

15mm extra drop is the only benefit, I have them so does kedge and I think Cook does too. If you search for pics of cook's car, you can see how it sits on H&R springs, some would say it is exactly right.... 8)
How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

There will be a difference, because there is a physical difference in height between e90 and e30 drop hats. Its just not as big as people say. 10mm drop max tbh! Im sure i've got a pic somewhere with the two side by side showing the difference in height

And in the link you say no difference, so I thought i'd give my view considering a lot of people say it gives you 15mm lol! Two complete opposite views lol!

so no point really then boyos lol.. i was under the impression that not only a 10mm or so extra drop, they were stronger items or along that sort of line. im getting coilovers very soon so an extra 10mm can be achieved by winding them down a notch or 2.
im not a fan of a slammed e30, shes 40mm right now and i like it. prob go for a 60 front and 40 rear tbh 8)
