    Please point me in the right direction for lowering my e30 just a tad.

    Please don't tell me to search. I will, once I get started. I have no clue. The car will be driven 99% of the time on the street. So, if I lower, it would be just a tad. But, how much is that exactly. I have lifted trucks a little, but never lowered a car. I am not sure if what I am looking for is 1-2 inches. But, I want the car to handle well, but be streetable. Please get me started.

            Addiction2e30s silver car is a nice height. When you guys say H&R springs, I see some the say H amp and some that say H&R race springs. Are these the same company? Anybody have a pic of the the H&R sports? Thanks.

              If you go with sports, don't get the OEM sports.

                  If you are going lower than an inch or more your stock shocks will work, but they will not last very long. Your car will not exactly handle very well either.

                    E30 M3 springs are a slight drop and is fine with stock shocks. My 84 eta is on them and it rides very nice and comfy.

                            depends on slight, M3 gives the least drop

                            hr oe sports i think give about the same (?)
                            hr sports/eibach pro give just about an inch

                            the sticky thread is your friend, find a pic of a ride height you like and copy their choices
