H&R sports 50406 coupe springs with e92 drop hats in the front. Stock shocks for now but considering KYB excel g Camaro shocks for rear and MR2 shocks for front.

Wheels are E32 Style 5s. 16x8 ET23 with Blox 18mm 5 lug adapters.

Another tire & wheel size for those doing research. 15x8 ET20 Rota Grid Concave Full Royal Silver with 205/55/15 Kumho Ecsta 4xII tires on H&R Sport (convertible) springs, 15mm drop hats, Bilstein Sport struts/shocks.

Outside, before settling:







And after:













This is the 4th different wheel/tire combo on the same setup so if you scroll back you get a sense for how tire size and wheel specs impacts the overall appearance.

So it's been more than a year on this combo, if you are still on it. Does it rub at all? Your wheel wells look like they aren't rolled or stretched. I'm on the same size/offset tire/wheel at stock height. Wanna drop, but.... don't want to rub.
Thanks

I already ordered thicker 15mm spring pads for the rear. I would have loved to go lower but this is my first e30 so I want to drive it at a comfortable height before I lower it some more.

Where did you order the spring pads? I want to get some as well.

Thanks for the help guys! This thread really helped.

Time to return the favor :)

Vogtland Coupe Springs, Bilstein Shocks, E90 drophats.

Hey all,

my vert has all stock suspension. I just want to lower it a bit, for a more even drop. No tucking, just very little-no fender gap.

Anything else I need to get besides the Vert billys and the Vert HR sports t achieve this?

I know this has been beaten to death...just want to know what else I should buy in terms of e90 tophats and all that sort of stuff.

E90 drop hats if want to go even lower then the lowering front springs go, just get the springs and shock see how you like the height

Vert springs wouldn't have been as low in the back. Will look nice once you get those pads in.

Yeah I realized that after purchasing them. I got them pretty cheap so I didn't mind having to order thicker pads. Thank you sir.

New wheels should be on this weekend. Going with OZ Vegas 195/50/16s all around for now until I refinish my RS001's. I'll post updated photos with wheels and spring pads.

I have a brand new set of Billy Sports that I didn't get to put on my E21.
Any idea if I can use them on my 92 vert?

These are all great but has anyone installed the megan racing coil overs? I'm wondering how they work on a convertible

The previous owner of my cabrio had them "professionally installed"; I'm in the process of raising in the ride height because the car was scraping on everything -- you could probably drop your car into the 7th circle of hell with these if you wanted. As per documentation on Megan's site, you'll want spacers if you have stock offset wheels otherwise the inner sidewall of the tire will rub against the top locking collars (NOT SAFE). I can try to answer any questions you might have though.
