im going lower

[kamotors]

would this be good enough to compress the springs

[E30SPDFRK]

That's what I used

get bags. its so sick. people think you cant get over a speed bump then you raise it up!

Has anyone ever heard of an e30 with bags? My friend has them on his '36 Dodge and they are perfect for daily use.

i decided to measure how far my oil pan is form the ground so i could see how low it would be after. right now its about 5.85" from the ground

lol.

[kamotors]

now i found H&R sports for $229 shipped

bag it. Have no idea how hard it would be, I just like the idea.

i got some bilstein sports for $378 shipped, now i just need to decide what springs to get. I want to be able to make it over speedbumps without hitting IS spoiler or oil pan. ive seen some cars with H&R sports that look really low and others that look perfect. ive also seen some cars with the OE's that look lower than 1". do the springs get lower as time goes on?

^Yes, after they settle.

bag it. Have no idea how hard it would be, I just like the idea.

its not that hard to put bags on a car. took me and my friend about 10 hours to put his bags on his jetta. now it sits frame. cant tow his car now lol

the tires on my car are 195/60 r 14. stock(my original spare tire) is 195/65. so my speedometer is 2mph off, and my tire radius is .4 inches smaller. are there any advantages to this, i hear it helps put more torque to the ground. so even if i get OE's my car would be 1.4" closer to the ground than a stock 325i.

kamotors: stop stressing you have found some great prices. By the sports and you will not be sorry!

[kamotors]

it still sits the same 2 weeks later. i cant get it to scrape on anything. it doesnt even come close to the oil pan AT ALL. i live in a complex with some NASTY driveways and it wont drag anywhere. my suggestion is also while youre in there get yourself a kit for the control arms, CAB's, tie rods, sway bar links and of course new shock mounts front and rear. do it all while its out. youre not going to believe the difference it all makes when you do it all at once, its like a whole new car.
