    pics- e30 w/m3 springs?

    I'm thinking about putting m3 springs on my 325, as I have to drive it in the winter but would like something a bit stiffer. anyone have pics of the drop?

      About a .5-.75" drop on my car. It's noticeable if you park your car right next to a stock one. Stiffens up the ride slightly. You can only really feel it in corners, not much in normal driving. Swaybars help, as well as some sportier shocks (like my Bilsteins ;) ).

          I've never looked at the suspension on this car- but is there anything you can do w/spring hats to lower more?

              Low, are you running spring pads?

                        Your car sits unusually low for M3 springs... that's why I was asking.

                              You can give it a 6mm drop by buying thiner spring pads from the dealer ($20 I hear)
