    The Right Way.

    Im kinda noob when it comes to e30 suspension so bear with me here lol.

    So im planning to "slam" my ride when i get the money but i've not quite found the right way to slam it. I don't mind bumps and all that but as long as its not Too bouncy if you know what i mean. I've been doing some research lately and hearing other fellows opinions and its added to .. GC Coils and bilstein or koni sports. Also, i don't want to spend too much money on this so yeah.

    Any bit of info would basically help me out a bit so yeah.

    Thanks,
    B

      Before I invested in suspension i decided to cut my springs for a week to see how low i could go. I took about 2.5 coils off the front and year and it brought me down about 2-3 inches. It isnt slammed but pretty close and ive decided to go with normal 1.5 drop springs as i dont have as good of a time driving the car having to worry about clearance. Appearance might be everything to some, but i want to drive worry free.


      But i will miss what this looks like haha

                  Its stiffer and feels decent, better then stock. The only worry is the rear springs are beehive types that taper down to fit the bumpstop spring holders and since the springs are cut they are wider and dont stay in place. So bassically the weight of the car is the only thing holding them in place, they have shifted before and that scares me, i wouldnt track it how it is now.
