Hi guys.

As in the title, can you post up pictures of your e30's fitted with 60/40mm springs, with the wheel size/width and the tyre sizes? :)

Want a bit more idea on what route I should be taking to achieving a bit of 'stance' on my car :cool:

Cheers, Arun

That looks fantastic!

16's are the right size for these imo, what size tyres are you running?

Back looks a tad high in that picture though

That's lovely, Sunny :cool:

My e30 is off road as a project, so just want to start somewhere, I think 60/40 is what I'm going to go for now. Will then think about custom made springs if I want to go lower.
Have the 15" BBS RZ's as you do, but think I'll be going for 16's when I have the money and the car is near ready for the road.

What size are the tyres on the 15's most of you run?

@mosh86, spacers would have sorted that :)
I'm used to hearing scrapes and bangs with my daily so don't think that will annoy me lol

Cheers for the pics guys, managed to pick up some brand new 60mm jamex springs quite cheap :)

Just need to fit them once I figure out how to get this one final bolt out lol
