im on 80/60

Could you do photo's with 15" bbs alloys on it??

[Kos]

dips had a 318 tourer and 19" hartge replicas with leda coilovers and the thing was slammed, i'll tryand get pics posted, it also had 4 15" atomic subs in the back (1000rms) with two US amps driving them, looked and sounded awsome

[Johan99]

My old 325 was lowered about 80/60.

[johnna]

How low is mine then?
It was low when I bought it....
too low for a jack...

[slideordie]

IMO front must be lowered more than the rear. ie 60/40 or 80/60 E30's need rake IMO, they just dont look right without it. Go for coilovers and you can go -100mm if you want but you'll need some sort of indestructable sump!

[Steviec]

My old 325 was lowered about 80/60.

What set-up/make was that?

[panesar_e30]

the only way to lower the e30 80mm is to get coilover ride adjustable suspension kit. this way you can eie how low you want to go.

i dont thnk any company does a 80m kit.

[stevetigger]

Watch this space, I might just have to do a DIY lowering!!

80/80 might just about be right, I need to see photo's of an E30 on 15"
with a big drop!

[Moofles]

lol, yeah you would but who wouldn't?

22 days! back on the 28th jan!

i've never heard or seen of springs lower than 60/60, mines 60/40 and that seems groung hugging enough. Only coil overs i've seen can offer a lower ride height. But only on the front. anymore than 60 on the rear would be silly surely!

Silly yes, am I mad no!
The cab is only my summer car, I have the Zafira for daily use! I want the car about an inch off the floor, dont care what it drives like its all about the look as explained earlier in the thread!

[Jimbob]

Simon, what's it like being converted to 60/40 then?

[Simon13]

Simon, what's it like being converted to 60/40 then?

i like it, but i am trying in my mind to be purist and change it back! but the handling is so planted!

downsides are

worse ride
tyres! rear
no passengers!

plus sides more grins per mile! so i think they are staying

I am sorry but I dont remember It was the owner before me that put the kit on...

[oguz327]

steve get the hack saw out dude!

[stevetigger]

steve get the hack saw out dude!

Looks that way!

[panesar_e30]

this is 60/60

to get lower than that, you would need to heat the rear springs and chop a coil up front.

or use springs from a 316 or 318 if it a 320 or 325 that you want to lower.

this is also a 60/60

[stevetigger]

yes but surely 60/60 with 15" wheels would be lower?? Than a car with 17" 60/60

[panesar_e30]

your right it would be, ive done this before and changed the tyres from 205/55/15 to 205/50/15 it looks so much better. will try and get pics up tomorrow.

[panesar_e30]

all the pics are on my pc and havnt had time to put them on my laptop, heres one of my mates old sport. i had a black one identical with the same drop of 60/60.

[stevetigger]

Is it me, that just doesn't look low! I want belly scrape'in low! Maybe I need a photo from the floor

[bigkev]

[Kos]

[panesar_e30]

true, its easy on 17's. depends on your driving style. the diablos were nice old skool rims, has a set on my mk3 golf, never seen them on an e30.
