Springs??

[zip88]

Want to lower my 320i,but not too much,also am not looking for
rock hard ride,whats the best combination for looks,comfort and
roadholding?

Try the Spax spring set.

the "own brand" German and Swedish sell are also good, not too low, not too hard etc,Fitted a set to Matts 318i(m10) two weeks ago, looks the part .

whatever the brand you choose, the C of G will be lower and it will handle better than stock.

Avoid the 60/60 drop, its too far imho for daily useage

60/40 is nice if you want the nose down stance, 35/35 most common and most practical.

I used to live in B/H too, Kings Road,off rosehill shopping parade in the Valley

thanks ant

drive up and down kings road every day,I'm right at the far end of the
valley,off alexandre road
thanks for the info on the springs,think I'll go for the 35/35 set up

cheers

35/35 is an ok drop looks ok but you still have that big ugly gap at the front end, next choice as ANT says would be a 60/40 drop nose down, ive got a 60/60 with spax adjustables and i think personally it looks the bollocks, if you need any pictures of a 60mm drop all round pm me and ill send you a piccy

[zip88]

whats the ride like? must be pretty harsh over the bumps?

[TW166Y]

mate its sweet, obviously its a little harsher ride yeh, its not like this..... BANG,BANG,BANG like evryone says, you do have to slow down a little more when you come to speed bumps but thats about it, handles like fook and its like your on tracks well when its dry!! it looks the biz thow mate i must admit

[Simon13]

35mm is good buy H&R sport springs and u will piss on everything i assure u!

[zip88]

got any pics of a 35mm drop?

[Simon13]

not yet, will do by the weekend! the only one i have is this one at the

nurburgring! so not too acurate!

[panesar_e30]

60 all round is the best drop, iv got 60 on mine and dont have any problems even with a full load.

the rides good 2.

[Simon13]

but it's looks only with 60/60 the handling is not as good as say 35/35 or 60/40

[TW166Y]

mines mint 60 all round, i had 35mm b4 and i thought it was a little boatish, well that was on apex and even though they are a half decent spring H&R are far more superiour, if you want looks its deffo the 60mm drop all round, i have spax springs and shox part number TAP033 from the spax website and its fooking mint i swear, with 17's its perfect mate

[TW166Y]

here you go mate as requested picture of my 325i sport with a 60mm drop, didnt get around to giving her a clean but i took the picture anyway, hope the link works http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/pbttwi ... pg&.src=ph let me know what you think

[zip88]

must admit does look the b*llocks,what size are yor rims?

[TW166Y]

im running 215/40/17's mate personally like i said i think it looks the best drop for an e30 especially with 17's hope its helped you out mate in your decision

[zip88]

yeah thanks for the pics mate,given me something to think about

[panesar_e30]
