Anybody got any ideas on if i should lower my 325 cab 40mm or 60/40mm to get it sitting right on 15in wheels, new to bmws, any ideas would be great! Thanks.

its upto you mate depending on the look you want my cab is 60mm all round on 17x8 slightly tuff ride but looks fookin cool! 40mm you will still retain comfort 60/40 will be a mix and 40/60 is the mean hot rod lookk but im not sure what this does for handling, comfortability etc

i would not lower it 60mil

i have just lowwered my cabby 60/40 on 17" alpina reps and im happy with it!

i think it is down to personal preferance to be honest. i would of dropped the back more but with the 60mm rears you get the speed boat look

My cab is lowered 60mm all around on 17" wheels. Not the most comfortable, but its not bone shattering.

Cheers, think ill give the 40mm springs ago and see how it looks, will keep you posted. Thanks

I can't recommend eibach enough, their springs are the danglers

if you want to ge really low down then you are looking at coilovers

but if you want it to handle, don't slam it too much

very true mines dropped 60mm all round on coilovers & it's all full adjustable so i can set the ride how i want it & drop it on it's arse when i feel like it

if you lower your bmw e30 60mil by a sump gaurd as you will need it. or have some new sumps ready

Lowered mine 60/40 last week



And I will be investing in a sump guard very soon haha

I would recommend getting a sump guard from raceperformancemodified.com my touring is lowered about 80mm and before i put the sump guard on i was having endless trouble with sumps and i have had the guard on about 2 months now and i havent had anymore issues
