    Are you just looking for the look or a stiffer suspension also?

      some details about your car would help (do you have a 325, 318, vert. what?) as well as what you are trying to achieve with your drop? Do you want slammed or just a nice little drop? Do you want stiffness with the looks or are soft springs are ok with you? How much money do you want to invest is also critical, because if you have a big budget, Id say just get some Ground Control coil overs and be done with it otherwise there are many options like eibach (soft springs, decent drop) H&R sports/race (bit stiffer but still decent drop, race is more of a drop) IE3's (low and stiff) They also have some ridicules drop kits which offer like 60/60 drop which is close to slammed but im not sure who makes em.

            sounds like your best option is H&r sports with e90 drophats. Will lower you car pretty good but not too aggressive. Still easily street drivable. You get some springs for around 300 new. drop hats are about 80-90, so with install you would be in your ballpark. Don't take my word for it though, wait a bit for the majority of our members to get off work and you will get a lot more responses.
