The "SEARCH" button is your friend.

Really? You had to make two threads for this?

He couldn't find the first one, so he had to make a second one.

Like the above people said, use the search button. Anyways, I'd say racelands could take you pretty low.

You're going to run into issues here. If you don't want to cut and weld the strut tubes, I would just go with an spring/shock combo and e90 drophats.

Im curious about this, what kind of issues would he have if he didn't cut or weld the strut housing if he went with coils?

Well, from reading his post it sounds like his main goal is to get low. If you want to go low on an e30 with coils, you MUST section your strut housings. Otherwise you won't have any shock travel.

Oh i see what you're saying and that makes sense. I've got a used set of GC coils im planning to install soon but im not planning on lowering it that much, maybe an inch or so and i was worried i'd have to modify the strut housing to accommodate them. This makes sense tho since his goal is to slam it
