Before and after front suspension

[OnMy2ndE30]

Here is a few before and after pictures of my 87 325i. I installed E36 M3 springs in the front and left the rears alone. I think it looks great. Bye bye reverse rake! I picked up the springs from a buddy for $10. They are a direct fit replacement that I had previously done on my 89 325i. Enjoy!

Also note the rework I have done on the front end boo boo that the PO encountered before I picked her up. Not finished yet, but progressing very nicely.

CIMG3122 and 3123 are the after pics? I barely see any drop at all.

Is that a little easier?

[OnMy2ndE30]

For $10 I am not complaining. The hella gap is gone, which I am happy with. I want to say it dropped it a good 1" to 1 1/4". I am not looking to autox the car. I may add the E90 spring hats to get another 10-12 MM out of it. Beats 200 for aftermarket springs.

Needs to be about 8" lower brah.

how about e30 m3 spring on an e36? have anyone done it before?

[Albuquerque30]

I honestly barely see a difference. Still looks awkwardly high. But for $10... Can't complain.
