Ive Been looking for some new shocks and springs but i Cant seem to find any at the standard height. I have found some JOM that lowers the front 40mm and the rear 35mm. Can anyone give me any opinions if you've heard anything about that perticular brand and also if anyone has an e30 lowered that much can you post pics so i can decide weather or not to buy them please.

Whats your budget and are you looking at actually lowering your car or just updating the suspension?
JOM is cheap, and you get what you paid for...
This guy here will be able to get you good prices for what your after

GSF do standard shocks, I have replaced mine with OEM spec boge turbos and -40mm springs. I can remember exactly how much the shocks were but they were approx £60 each.
Meatballs82 may be able to get the boge's too but last time I checked them Matt couldn't match the GSF price.
Matts service is second to none though and he may be able to offer an equivalent for a good price.

Have a look on the wiki pages for some info

Depending what model E30 you have determines what stock struts it was original built with. The two makes tend to be Boge or Bilsteins..

That approach tends to apply to most traders of car parts...Jim320i wrote:
