    best lowering springs to be LOW!

    im looking to buy some lowering springs and some struts to be lowwwww. trying to tuck 15" rims at least in the rear
    i hear the IE stage 3 are pretty low but the front sits a little high?
    also this is my DD. can someone give me some help on a okay setup.
    also just wondering how are the tociko (sp) struts?
    thanks

    I run IE3's and they are low. I like the ride too.
    They are having like a group buy thing on e30tech for shocks.



    Heres how mine sits.

      you are not going to get lowwww with just springs. You will need to get coilovers (~$1400).
      Tokicos are garbage. They will blow real quick, especially on a lowered car.

      also, it helps to do a search so people here won't get on you ass about it. This is a polite way of telling you, but there is a "ride height" thread stickied a the top of this sub-forum. Look in there

            Why not? Im just letting everyone else know about the good deals.
            Why pay more money when you can get the same shit for cheaper?

                I shoulda snapped a pic of my old tokico strut.

                Put it this way, when i took it out, i could compress it with my fingers, and it did not rebound.

                I got billy sports.

                Get those

                  Elephant is a member here, if you want shocks you should PM him here and encourage he post the GB on this site as well, rather then driving traffic over to that bullshit site.

                    low tec will get you the lowest! because they will sag after a year and have no more real rebound capability.

                      Well if you dont like it keep your mouth shut and stay the fuck out.
                      Its that easy, You need to really grow up and stop bitching about what site is better. what site offers more info. what site does this and that.

                      Stop acting like a child and grow up.

                          Keep the community together, there's no need to drive business away from our supporting vendors. We have enough bullshit with our members getting banned on that site for slim reason other then they are also members here.

                            OP are you worried about ride quality or performance? because if that doesnt matter to you, eibach pro kit is the way to go. its crazy low. you could tuck 15s or 16s with those easy.

                            if you want good ride quality, IE3s are the way to go.

                              There must be a good reason as to why they was banned. Why would it matter to you anyways? Does it effect you in any way? or does it just give you something to bitch about and join the band waggon like everyone else?
                              You act like its a big deal that I posted an e30tech link over here. Im sure if the seller wanted to offer it here he would have. But he didnt, So I was letting another fellow e30 owner know about a good deal going on over at e30tech and you throw a big fit.
                              In the end it doesnt matter where it was posted. Anyone could send money for them if they was a member or not. If your not a member on e30tech you can still see the thread and you can see he clearly posted his pay-pal address and a price. So ANYONE can send money for them.

                              I just get tired of seeing and hearing all of the BS about what site is better, we are suppose to be a community of people who are suppose to help one another out no matter what.
