hello all my mate got his e30 cab which was lowered 60mm all round i did

the same to mine yet his rear arches sit lower..........now after further

inspection he said its cos his rear link rods have been removed is this true

and does removal effect the car i.e. handling etc i also want my cars rear

arches to cover my rear wheels iv also noticed both his rear wheels slant

don't remove them, car will be even worse handling wise if u remove them

understeer will be on the agenda, removing them will not make the car lower! give the springs time to settle if they are brand new

hes probaby used 60mm saloon springs which will make the rear lower due to the extra weight on the cab
