I want to lower my E30 60mm allround and am looking at the Hot Tuning kit priced at 60mm - here

D I also need new top mounts to fit this kit?

Does anyone know if everything needed is in this kit, I read somewhere that I also need new top mounts which don't come with the kit.

I'm putting 17" Azev A's on and was planning a 60mm drop all round, I'm I going to have arch problems?

The boy thats fitting it can roll arches but I appreciate a steer i.e. whether this will be necessary.

Finally, I currently park in a multi-storey, I guess I'm going to have problems if I've got a 60mm drop?

My old E30 was dropped 40mm all round and I never had any problems but with 60mm I think I'll be ripping off the front splitler every time I try and go up the multi ramp???

Advice appreciated

My old tech1 was 60mm lower at the front and I'd scrape the underside(exhaust mainly) in multi-store car park.
Depends on the width of the wheels/tyres whether the arches will need rolling.
The ride will be HARSH.
The inside of the wheels will probably rub on the antiroll bar on full lock also.
