    So do you think IE3s and koni SAs will be okay for my driveway then? The IE3s drop the front 2" and the back 1.5", so will the front look lower than the back...all things considered I want a level look front to back.

        As far as looking level, if I'm not mistaken, the rear wheel well is lower than the front wheel well from stock.

          Wasn't that the case for the 88-91 E30s? Is it also the case for '87s?

            Only on 88-91 are the wheel arches lower in back.

              Right that's what I thought...so will a lower spring in the front make the front look lower relative to the back since the wheel arches are the same size on the '87 E30s? If that's the case, I'd rather have equally sized springs..any recommendations?
