This looks great. What did you use to adjust camber in the rear?

If I'm using 17x8 I have to roll the fenders right. I was looking at them and they stick out kind of far...

[CorvallisBMW]

Anyone know of a way to raise the rear with out getting coil overs ? I am running ie race springs and billstein hds but my rear just sits to low :/

I was suggested of getting another set of rubber cushions and stacking them .. Anyone done this ?

Also wheels are 16x8 and tires are 225-50-16

Hi guys! I bought this car a while back and I'd really like to swap out the springs. I'm unsure of what's on there now, but they are mismatched springs as front is blue and rear is grey. I'd like to get some springs that have equal gap between the front and rear arches and allow me to run beefier tires, but on the other hand still be low. I wouldn't mind just swapping the rear as I like the way she sits in the front. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

you're welcome,

btw, color, never seen it on a e30, what's the name ?
bumper swapped too, nice :)

16x8" wide rims with offset between et12 to et15 should work with those tires.

Thanks :) and its RECETA Green off the e21 ... i wanted to do something different
