My 320 chromie! she needs lowering!

[makman]

not the best picture by far but its the only one on our lasses laptop lol

[Jim320i]

Definately needs lowering mate... 40mm should do it too... Dont 'slam' it

Tidy looking chromie too

[makman]

thanks mate....theres another one, i want it in the arches so would 60 do it?

also, how do i make a build thread, is there a specific section? tah

[Alex]

60mm would look good in my opinion however shorter dampers and a sump guard are needed ideally

[Jim320i]

Mine a 40 drop...



A 60 would possibly take it to the tyres, so it might even be more of a drop then 60

Expect it to drive like a bag of .... with regards to handling, especially with 17" wheels on.

In your other thread about getting some more speed, I find mine doesnt need the extra spped (It would be nice) But it handles fairly well so I dont have to slow down as much to keep it handling well...


And a Build thread section, there is an engine swap section I know a few people put there builds in, then others put them in the photo section.

Dont think ive seen an E30 that high before.

Id go 60/40

[makman]

[makman]

[leeparkes]

Thats 60/40.

[hazd31]

I would say -60 im running -80 on tiny 14" wheels as a daily

[makman]

i ordered some xlow 60/60 apex springs about 2 week back and ive not heard back from the place who i went through so im presuming theyve arrived and forgotton about me so il chase it up tomorro

[leeparkes]

Mine was on Apex 60/40 in that pic and imo there a decent spring,im on H&R's now and tbh i wish id never swapped. H&R's are good if the road is flat.

[sweep]

Im sure pacer pete on here has a bottom end

[Jhonno]

What size wheels and tyres are they?

[mani]

that dose need lowering will look stunning when done

[leeparkes]

What size wheels and tyres are they?

Look like 16" Lenso's.

[makman]

there 16inch x 7.5inch lenso bsx with 195/40/16 tyres...with some cheeky stretch! Ive got my apex 60/60 springs fitted now too but its filthy in the photo and theve not settled in

[makman]

forgot to pop this on! haha

[sweep]

is that car from rotherham mate?

[Blitz]

It should have 205/50/16. No wonder it looks silly.

[makman]

how you mean looks silly?? and Doncaster mate, got it from a bloke whos had it for about 7 years, he restored it to be a minter

[bulletproofbob]

nah 15's for me!!

[sweep]

I think i saw it on gumtree? your side repeaters are on the wrong way round pal

[makman]

are they?? aha didnt realise! the bloke said it had been for sale abit and no one came to view it but the pictures he took of it did it no justice at all. I paid 1500 for it but im happy with it considering its perfect condition...bar the wrong way round blinkers lol. Its getting m50'd next week too so it will have some grunt!

[Blitz]

Because the tyres are way too small.

[Jhonno]

Undersized tyres make it look higher than it is, and look a bit shit on that wheel tbh.

205/50 suits a 7.5" rim nicely.
