    What springs would ya'll recommend that lower the rear of an E30 nicely?
    Wood blocks instead of springs.

    It works on j-dawgs car.

      if your on H&R sports like me wait about a month
      it takes the back longer to settle because the springs are stiffer and there's less wait
      trust me you'll be happy the car will sit almost level
      like 4.5 inchs at the front
      and like 5.0 at the rear
      thats from the sil though with the front lip i have on there now the car wont go over a pop can on it's side
      didn't cut coils either

        Hm.. I've had my H & R's on since May actually.
        I kept hoping they would settle more, but I think at this point, they are finished.

        Thanks for the ideas.

        If I get around to it, I may try removing the spring pads. Sounds like a lot of trouble for a half inch though :-)

        And no, I'm not into car audio, but it was a nice thought.

          I take my spring pads out or put them in in 20 minutes (on both sides).
