my car has been lowered 80mm, my mate blitz877 told that it wasnt an 80mm drop but i want make sure.

so heres a photo of my e30 (take no notice of the AA truck its the best photo ive got of the 80mm lower) do you think its an 80mm drop?

I think that would make the slightest difference.

But I'm going 60 all round.

In that piccy it doesn't look as low as 60 at the back tbh, more like 40 but it could be cos your handbrake is on? looks 60mm at the front tho.

E30's lowered 60mm normally look dumped at the back!

Almost certain thats 60mm at front and 40 at back. Lower it 100mm and you will smash your sump, and your 17's will rub the arches with anybody in the back or if you boot it.
