Hi guys looking into lowering my e30 cab, I'm woundering whats a decent set of lowering springs would do the job and what sort of price im looking to pay. Would it be ideal to buy a complete kit shocks and springs?

Also if I was to folk out more money what coilovers would be the best for every day road use. Again what sort of price am looking to pay for them?

ps. cars on standard bbs wheels 15inch.

Regards
J

:cool: Any decent kit will do, it depends on your budget winkeye but make sure you put in some bump stops, as i found out the hard way.The TWA#t who did mine didn't put these on and i ended ruining my wheel arch! :cry:

Get yourself an H&R cupkit.
Available from the zone shop or you can look on Ebay.

Thanks do bump stops come with normally H&R cup kits, aswell as coilovers? Or are they always required separate?

:cool: Normally seperate,depending on how low you want to go, but i've just raised mine because it kept scrapping the humps on the road and not good when you've got a stainless custom exhaust :cry:
