Hi Guys

Just got my self my first E30

anyways I managed to get some new lowered springs and 15s BBS with 225/50/15. managed to fit the wheels my self.

But I have heard some people can change e30 springs with thier eyes close and was wondering if somebody can help change them for please.

not sure if that helps but in return I am good with oil change/all filters/fix fuel pumps/stereos/fuse box and few bits and boobs on E30s, also i work in a very good food place (leaving it a surprise) and I am sure you will really really like the box i will gift ya :)

Please help your E30 Fellow make his Bimmer go lower

Replacing the springs isn't too bad what you need is some basic spanners and sockets (13mm, 17mm, 19mm) including a breaker bar, Axel Stands, spring compressors, a scissor type balljoint splitter (£20 from halfords), and approx £20 to a garage to replace the front springs on the struts, and lots of patience.

If you decide to do it yourself I can write up a guide based on what I have just done, it took me weeks but knowing what I know now I reckon its about 4 - 6 hours of labour for a noob like me and as long as you have the tools and the time to have the car off the road.
