    What springs and shocks???

    Ok here in a few weeks I will be putting shocks and springs in my beautiful 89 325i I'm looking for a great stance front and back.

    Well I have eibach sports and bilsteins. They dont go incredibly low, but it does give it a nice stance and looks more agressive. And it doesnt really fill in your wheel wells. But you do get some rake :D

          H&R makes more than one set of springs for the E30. Might want to mention which ones...

          Eibach springs are VERY soft and I do not recommend them to anyone.

          Drop hats give an extra 1/2" front drop. There is a sticky'd thread at the top of this forum.


          I personally like the IE3 and Bilstein Sport combo! Running it on my car along with GC Touring camber plates and a 1/2 coil cut from the front springs.

            Ok perfect once i get home i read up on the hats. I'm not a friend of cutting springs thinking hats will be a better way

            I have about 2.5 inch gap from the front tire to the fender and would love to close that gap here's a pic

              I have H&R Sports and Konis on Klaus. For a car that sees lots of street time or is going to be a DD, it's a tough combo to beat. See his build thread for pics and info. Link in sig.
