Really want to get my e30 low but can't stretch to getting an expensive set of coilovers.

Any other suggestion? Looked at the cheaper kits but can only find ones for 51mm struts?!

Just get a set of lowering springs. Considering how popular it is to drag your lip along the ground like a neanderthal, there must be plenty of 45mm spring kits out there.

You don't NEED coilovers if all you want to do is improve the "stance".
