30 mm down at the back, 40 at the front

some do 40/60

Dave touring does -100

[cuk325]

my touring was dropped 40mm & in my oppinion that was a perfect drop

I agree with that, I'm raising mine back up to -40mm. It's a terrible ride this low, and the handling is shocking.

-40mm is perfect.

[cuk325]

my old sport was lowered 60mm on 18s & i hated the ride quality but i put that down to getting old

[johnono]

was this one yours?

[jph78]

Yeah that was his.

Chris, what make springs did you have on that?

Ideally i'd like -40 rear, -60 front but i don't know anyone that makes em.

I seem to remember someone saying there was a -50/-60 touring kit (spax?). I think Andy knows (335/M30 touring). Any ideas?

PS Thanks for that badge Chris, sorry i havent got back to you, i still wanna get some made Sorrt for the off topic!

[E30WEZ]

MMMMM Black brake ducts will have to find myself a spare set to try that

[jph78]

Just looked at the spax site and they list -40/-40 and -55/-40 for the 6 cyl tourings.

Time to go shopping me thinks...

Dropped my tourer last year on eibach pro spring kit,
Make sure you go for touring springs though,(give Eibach a buzz)
You've got a bit more weight on the back end to contend with.

If you load it up a lot of the time,(as I do for work)cheap springs wont last you long.

If you can afford it, change all the shocks and mounts. I put new standard Bilsteins on.This combo= ride is a bit harder than standard ,but it handles 150% better.

Drop is about 30mm in my opinion it looks just right and feels superb,(and it wont rattle you're fillings out).
