For those with experience in cutting E30 springs? preferred budget for lowering = $0.00 and no one selling lowered springs is open over the xmas-new year break - I need it on the road next tuesday. For the time constraints and for this budget I am prepared to try cutting springs.
For approx 40mm lowering, how much should i cut off? One coil? 1 1/2 coils? The shocks are used scavenged but OK Mtechs.
I have -50mm rear springs. All I have for the front is stock springs. A conservative cut should not lower it too much and if necessarty I can make up spacers to raise the rear a little to balance the rake.
I am happy to try this on an interim basis, as worse comes to worse, I'll chase better springs and trial the drophat option. I have done this on other cars before successfully.
