What do i need to lower the car?

[Robert]

What would you guys recommended for lowering an e30 1-2 inches ? ..
Would it be fine if i just put some H&R or Eibach springs & leave the original shock absorbers?

I'm new to this ... any tips and info would help a lot ! thanks

If you leave the stock shocks the car will bounce all over. I had to learn the hard way. Best bet to do is just buy all new shocks.
Where in LA area you located?

Ah, okay . what shocks & springs would you recommended ?
I'm actually located in the SFV , Northridge

H&R or Eibach are fine springs, Shocks me might want the billi sports like everyone is running.

Driver side is 8 months old, new design.
Passenger side is a year and a half old or more possibly.

I'll do $170 for both.

They retail for $430 for all 4 new I think.

Just use your stock shocks and cut your springs about 5 coils and let us know how it goes.

Defently any lowering Springs that are a reputable brand( IE, Vogland?, Hr, Eibach..etcetc)

Shocks like any e30forum Billys or Koni.. atleast some kyb

Defently can find some used a a good price .. e30 are common in la so you can defently find a buddy or friend that can help you with this.

if not i know they have the "JOM" Coilover group buy if you wanna just lower your car.. (Search Jom Coilover)
