    Could you give me some insight on the springs that do lower it pretty low. I think as of right now, I don't want to spend a ridiculous amount of suspension.

    Slamming an E30

    Hey guys, so I'm new hear and I was just wondering on how I would go about slamming my E30. I want to drop it pretty low but so that I can still drive it daily. Forgive me if there are other threads about this, did some skimming through and some searching, didn't really come up with anything helpful. I'd like to drop it pretty low for a pretty cheap price, nothing outrageous. Are there any kits or springs that really gets me down and dirty?

    Perhaps I could purchase something like this:
    KYB Shocks and Springs
    or
    Tokico Shocks and Springs
    and swap out the springs for something even lower?
    All the help I can get would be awesome. Thanks!
