Hi from Ireland,

I'm new to the forum so go easy on the new boy but here goes....

I have a 91 325i sport and I want to upgrade/replace the suspension. I would appreciate any help and advice on the best kits. I would also like to lower the car a little...is this wise???

Cheers,

Peter

Have a look at the zone shop.

there are h&r cup kits with -35mm alround kit or 60/40 drop.

Bear in mind that your Sport will already be lower than a common-or-garden 325i. The amount of lowering quoted by the spring supplier will be for "normal" cars, so deduct 15mm.
I.e if the springs are "-40mm" they will lower your car by 25mm (once they have settled!).
This is why I no longer drive an E30......
