Thanks for the english lesson but can someone respond to my question?

You have not specified anything in your OP. We have no clue what KW suspension you are talking about.

In the end, suspension cost $, which is something you don't have.

Come on, guys, he's Belgian. Can you speak any Belgian at all?? Marijn, just try to give a little more info.

Changing springs alone will make for a bouncy ride.

Find a decent set of used springs/shock/struts, like off a car that has been wrecked or some shit.

Thx Slangbox i try to do my best. I'm 18 years old and i love e30. I'm a leek but i try to learn as fast as possibel. Sorry i tought some wone would help me but the only thing i get is mean anwsers.. I would like to put just new springs to drop it 4 cm. From KW or koni. I won't put new shocks. Will my tires hit the fender? So is it possibel to lower de car just by putting oder springs?

[Philo]

So, you are talking 40mm all around? That amount of drop will not cause the tire to rub the fender, as long as you don't have some crazy offset, or meaty tires.

Springs is how you lower a car. It has nothing to do with the struts. Although I do HIGHLY recommend having a good set of dampers (shocks/struts) under the car.

[arch4ngel]

You can lower the car with springs only, but your struts/shocks will quickly blow out and you'll have to buy some new ones anyway.
Might as well save up and just do it all at once.

Also, springs without good struts make for a bouncy ride, as mentioned above.
My girlfriends last car came with a broken oil pan from H & R sports with stock shocks :(
Changing oil pans is a bitch.

Springs control the ride height of the car. So yes you can lower the car with just 4 springs.

However, they will cause the stock struts to blow out. You will have a bouncier ride and less control over your car in a panic situation.

Do it all at once. you'll be much happier.

Oké thanks for the explanation! I'll wait
