    im going lower

    Im finally going to lower my car. I just need a small drop so I was thinking of H&R OE sports with bilstein sports(incase i lower more in the future). Will the OE's lower the car the same amount as E30 M3 springs would? If i go with H&R sports which lower the car 1.3 inches would i have to worry about hurting the oil pan, or scraping the IS lip, does the extra .3" drop affect handling? This car is my daily driver with a once a week trip to the windy roads and mountains, i drive over 2 rough speed bumps everyday on the way to school. sorry for all the questions i just want to make sure i get the right springs and dont have to worry about driveways or speed bumps or snow

          i would if it didn't snow so much. it just snowed yesterday, and its supposed to be spring break. heres what i had to drive in about 1 month ago.


          LSD is definatly required in the snow. before i got one i couldn't make it out of the driveway.

                  i found a good deal ($620 shipped) on H&R OE sports with bilstein sport shocks. are bilstien sports with H&R OE's a bad idea. the bilstein sports are about 1 inch shorter and so are the OE's so wouldn't that work.

I love E30's...... with 4.10's. just thought i would share it made me want new springs/shocks even more.

                          My sports are retarded, I have wheel gap in the back. I think I need to take the rubber pieces out.

                            Get coil overs. Drop it down in the summer and raise it up in the winter (if you must).
