    i have these installed and wanna drop them all the way but wanna know how much it will go. right now i have the pan 2 1/2 inch from the floor and im not all the way down up front.

      This should give you an idea, cant get the exact measurement of oil pan clearance right now, but it isnt very much

      EDIT:


      The key is like 1.75 inches long, I searched my whole house for a tape measure or a ruler and couldn't find anything fml

      This is the lowest setting down, no spring pads 16" wheels with 45 width sidewalls in the front

        Are you using anything for the camber settings?

          All of the JOM kits in the UK for the e30 are sold out. VERT COUPE SEDAN AND TOURING.

          If you want to get in on the JOM group buy please send me a PM and save your pennies these will be available again mid JUNE. The 80+ people who acted on these got them for a steal as I hear the price is going up.

          Thanks you guys for all of your PMs and kind words and thanks for the pics. We took a unknown untested product on ebay in October and wiped out the inventory with ZERO issues.

          Spread the word to all your cheap friends that need to get low that this is the spot.

                I may sound silly here, but I am just not sure. Can you put this kit in without cutting or welding anything, or does it require some modification?

                  If the drop hats work with the stock springs they will work with these.

                          I still need to get pics of mine.. I dont know how you guys are running the fronts so low, unless you have major sunk wheels.. im flush up front and when i turn i scrape my tires on the fenders (and they are rolled/pulled)... my oil pan sits almost 4" from the ground too.. The rear I'm running top spring pad and the adjusters all the way down, and i just barely tuck tire on early arches..

                          That said, I LOVE this setup. Its perfect amount of stiffness, not bone/teeth jarring, but holds the car nice and flat in the twisties. I love the stance of my car now, still high by some of your standards, but low enough for me.

                          Oh, and to install the fronts, you do not NEED to do any cutting/welding.. but cutting off the stock spring perches makes it MUCH much easier to use the height adjuster rings.

                          This is the best pic I have currently, from my cell phone >.<

                            Because I am replacing the shock because I am awesome like that.

                                Not sure. He didnt have it installed very long but hopefully we can get some pics of it and diagnose the problem. This is the one and only shock issue that has come up. From what everyone over 10k is telling me they are still holding up fine. We shall see.
