    ant thoughts on this setup ?>?

    Hi to all,
    I just acquired a 325i Touring and wish to lower it a bit, with matching shocks, in order to have the best street ( but not harsh ) ride, without being too low.

    The setup I want to use is :
    Either Eibach front and rear -30mm pro-kit springs or H&R Sport -35mm
    Either Eibach pro-kit sway bars or H&R Sways bar

    ( please let me know what are the difference in harshness and handling for both Eibach and H&R )

    Bilsteins B8s
    All new poly bushing including AKG CAB's ( love them on the Alpina )
    What do you think ??

    Good setup for a DD, not too harsh ??

    Any inputs welcome !

    Cheers / Pierre

    Wont be harsh, but it will be low. If you want to do that, you will also need a skidplate. Get H&R Sports for a comfy ride that isnt to low.

      You really think -30mm front and rear is Low ??

      I thought is was mildly lowered...

      30mm is slightly more than a an inch....

          E30 Groupie,

          was it sporty or too soft ?

          I want something more sporty than stock, great handling but not harsh...

          What do you have now ??

          Cheers / Pierre

            It was too soft for me.

            I am now on E30 M3 Group N Coils. Way stiffer and lower than 99% of people on here will ever run.
