    well i put H&R Race with Billy Sports on my 89 cabrio that were from a guy who bought it for his coupe. it has the rear wheels tucked about a half inch and the front has about a half inch gap. so i bought the 15mm spring hats from a guy on r3v and that should make the front match. im happy with it and im not worrying about being that low in RVA and i know Burke/Springfield has much better roads. other than that, most people here will tell you to search.

        If you just want low, i'd say opt for some fk 60/40s and billy sports.

          i got ground control for about 300 shipped (direct from g.c.).
          those guys are cool and will help you determine spring wieghts, (i run 500/350)
          springs are guaranteed for life.
          they held up multiple adjustments and i really use the ability to lower it further in the summer, raise it a bit in winter.





          seems it went up about 99 bucks, so its offered @ 399, which is a great deal imo
          found here for helis, and here for what i bought


          car can sit extermely low, but i keep it around teh middle, and removed all the gap from my front wheels, and the rear is insied a little.
          note- it would be a good time to roll fenders when doing this

            I've heard cosmo coilovers are good bang for the buck, but i know that is said about them on coupes and 4 doors, with the added weight of the cabrio i'm not sure how they would ride...

                    tunershop/weitec ended up being not as low as i thought. i have a set, but i don't think you'd be happy with them.

                      I just switched from Dinan's to Vogtland Club Spec M3 springs for my vert and I absolutely love it. There's about a half inch of clearance between the fenderwell and the tire, and it handles amazingly (compared to the Dinans). Perfect amount of stiffness IMO.

                      $190 shipped from Bmw2002.com .

                      Make sure you put spring pads in the rear if you go with these though.
