    Please help 318 vert

    I have just purchased a 1991 318 vert that is 100% original, I am desperately trying to find the correct spring / drop hat / spacer set up. the rear is very low from the start....h&r spring for 325 vert claims 1.4 in front and .75 in rear....but since I am a 4 cyl the stated front drop will change.....the h&r for a 318 coupe (50404) is 1.25 all the way around and that might be too much for rear.....so my thoughts are to use the 50404's and put drop hats on front to lower another .5 and add spacer in rear to raise......please help me decide or suggest....I just want a closed gap (not slammed) , with aggressive look....want to use a 17" wheel with 225/45/17 tire or willing to listen to ideas! thank you! Jon
