has any one dropped the e30 60mm?

[steedymorgan]

i was looking at lowering springs and like the sound of a 60mm drop just wondering if any one has done it if so any problems to watch out for.

[benno]

dropt my last e30 100 * 80 from60*60 there was nothing

Mines dropped 60/40, no probs but it can be a harsh ride at times

one of the main problems is the 60mm drop gives your rear tyres a weird camber, which eats up your rear tyres quicker. If you can live with this it should be fine.

IM doing a 60/40 drop so hoping I wont have the problem on the rears.

I know there are a few people with 60/60 drops but from what I have heard from the Zone 60/40 is the best compromise

[dazleeds]

is there no way to correct the camber with a 60/60 ??

[LiquidChild]

My mate has a 325 4dr with a 60/60 drop, its very low, speed humps are a no no, but other than that its fine. Eats rear tyres though, but having said that i had a sierra with the same drop, and that ate rear tyres too!

I had 60mm around my tyres did last a month!!!

Now on 60/40 looks and speed bump friendily.

[dazleeds]

does the car sit level with 60/40??

ie no rake

[Hyperion]

yeah like Dazleeds said. anyone running 60/40 have a good side profile Pic for us to look at?

[e30bb]

It rakes a bit, Its more 60/50 I got a load of junk in the back.

The wheel arches filled propley.

BMW are aloud too rake eg e36.

(But not too much rake - makes me bring out the fluffy dices and furry steering wheel)

[dazleeds]

i kinda like draggin my ass on the floor

but got to avoid the sleepin coppers and foookin huuuuuge potholes in leeds

i guess its 60/40 with adjustable rear shocks then

[Simon13]

60/60 looks too low on the back as the rear wheels are right up in the arches.

60/40 perfect

a settled 40mm drop looks good too and no issues with kerbs speed humps

[stevo]

yes!! im not a ttiwwp virgin anymore

Side pic of 60/40 KW springs, e30's need rake.

[HillclimbE30]

Even wheel arch gaps front & rear always works well.
No idea how much of a drop I'm running prob60 or 65 front & rear, Ledas & race springs, hate speed bumps, hate hate hate them but they do keep the centre exhaust box nice & shiny underneath

[Andy_magic]

That is a crisp looking e30 egk2.

very nice

[egk2]

That is a crisp looking e30 egk2.

very nice

Thank you too much.

[kenwoir]

This is mine running 60/40 drop

[shyne_187]

my e30 cab is droppped 65mm on the rear and 55 on the front with standard mtech alloys and nthe sump scratches alot. no other problems

[Andy_magic]

another fine looking E30, puts mine to shame..

[E30BeemerLad]

i'm sure mine is running 60/40 but the car came to me as it is in my sig pic, so can't be exact on that. I catch the centre box on the exhaust system on some speed humps. Negative camber on the rears does my nut in, wearing the inside edge prematurely. Nearly bid on a new rear beam with negative camber correction, but it was in Ilford.

Got to admit, I do love the rake on egk's red E30, think it is accentuated with the front spoiler and absence of side skirts etc, simple yet effective.

[Steviec]

My old 320i was dropped about 60/60 with 195/50/15 tyres, it was low and I had to be very careful over speed bumps, but it looked soo nice!

[t11mfn]

Mines dropped 60/60 pain in some cases!!!

[panesar_e30]

mines 60/60, no probs at all. depends on your style of driving i think?

[oze30]

what about tourings.. anyone have pics of dropped tourers?

[panesar_e30]

dave tourings looks as low as 60 all round, should be afew tourings slammed 60mm tomorrow at ace cafe.
