    H&R Race Springs Height

    So, I bought my E30 with what the PO said were Bilstein Shocks and H&R race springs. I jacked up the car and the springs are in fact H&R's, but the rear seems to sit ridiculously low. What I was wondering is what the dimensions of these springs are. Also, with the race springs what should the distance from the fender to the center of the wheel be? My car has the lower rear arches.

      Thanks for the pics. I'll take a look under there this weekend when I go to put in my new muffler. Maybe the PO took out the springs pads because mine seems to sit a bit lower, but not by much.

        How about showing us a picture? Or checking the spring part numbers...

          Welp, figured it out. Jackep up the rear with my new low-profile jack, and I found that the rear springs are not race springs. I found some blue springs with no identifying markings at all. Anyone know if I can just buy the rear springs? Everywhere I've looked seems to just sell the full set.
