Pic Request: E30's Lowered 40mm and 60mm

[Triple L]

Hi,

Debating suspension set ups at the moment for my soon to be bought 325i Sport and so far I have found kits like the Spax RSX (which is a front coilover with fixed height rears) along with more expensive full coilover set ups like the GAZ coilovers. But I'm concerned I may be limited to the amount of 'play' I will have with the fixed rear set ups, because ideally I want to tuck some of the tyre at the back and create a slightly front end raked stance on the front by winding down the fronts on 17"s.

So if anyone has got any pics of E30's lowered 40mm and 60mm respectively - preferably on 17"s, please post them up and help me make up my mind/ease my decision pains lol.

Probably not much help whatsoever but my malachite green 2door is on "-80mm" springs with 14" steels and fat as hell tyres. Ill get a snap put up asap.

Were you in a 3 car convoy

[sweep]

Was in a convoy but i was directly behind you through a small town.

[leeparkes]

And you nearly got squashed by that lorry up the steep dual carriageway

Sorry for the highjack triple L

[Triple L]

Looks awesome mate, do you have any clearance issues on the sump at all? Mine will be on 17's so the clearance (I'm hoping) will be pretty decent and look the t*ts just like yours

Yes that was me the 320 it didnt have enought poke to blast around it.

Triple, ive only occasionally hit the valance over high speed humps, also the exhaust gets it on those square humps but not often.
With 17" rims though it will help with clearance

60/40 drop, i do not do roads with speed bumps

Thanks dudes, any chance I could be cheeky and ask for a close of the rear wheel and the arch? Basically where I'm coming from is that I'm gonna be going for the Spax RSX kit (I'm 99% sure). The Spax kit has two different rear height options which are fixed: 40mm and 60mm. So wanted to make sure that I don't make a mistake with the ride height on the rear, also I wanna get a rakey nose down stance, the front is fully height adjustable so no worries there...Just wanna get it right first time.

[ImysE30]

Couple of pic's, bushes are fooked, that's why one side is lower

[Triple L]

Jesus man, that messed up, do you drive it like that? Cheers for the pics though dude, so that's 15's on 40mm drop yeah?

[ImysE30]

Yeah, tail happy

16" mate

[Triple L]

Ha ha, fairplay dude...Should have guessed from the sig lol

[ImysE30]

Got pic's of 40mm drop on 17" too if you want to have a look?

Pretty please! What width are they as well, I'm prospectively looking at 9"s on the back ET25

[ImysE30]

They 7.5J wide, not deep dish





ET35 which is rather high for a E30

-60/-60 and a heavy sub in the boot on a 316 original suspension

[Corpse]

Here two e30's with 60-40 and 17" --> Click

[Coops90]

My shitter with -80/60 springs on 14s:

Should be another inch or so lower with the shocks.

[LowLevel]

Where do you buy 70/50 springs, or 80/60 springs?

[VeinAST]

Hey TripleL I saw your project thread on ed38. Car looks mint Didn't realise you were only "up the road" so to speak.

What did you end up with?

[Triple L]

Cheers dude, kinda went off track and it's staying completely standard now, decided I'm gonna lower the next one (not an E30) a lot ;)

[JB88]

Are you sure? That doesn't really look lowered much at all - maybe 20mm.
