Hi guys,
I’ve been roped into buying my first by BristolE30. Picking up a touring this week. Looking into HR lowering springs, online suggesting the touring needs specific ones. Does anyone know if that’s the case?
Cheers!

A lot of spring manufacturers don't do specific kits for the touring, and if that's the case with HR then go for cabriolet springs which are also stiffer to deal with the extra weight.

Welcome.
It looks perfect as it is. Why ruin the ride by lowering it?

Welcome. Great car and colour. I agree with Ben though. If I was looking to buy I'd give the lowered car a miss.

Cheers guys! Was just thinking as an option down the line, now I’ve got it I’m quite enjoying it normal height haha. But typically, now can’t even get it to start... welcome to the E30 life eh!

That's just the cumulative effects of lack of maintenance. Once it's sorted, it'll be the most reliable car you will ever own.
If you want some help, post in the E30 tech help forum, and we'll soon work out what's wrong.

Great cheers Brian! My friend E30Bristol has put a post up about it in the tech help forum, quite stumped on what it could be so any help would be super appreciated!
