                No, I was on Bilstein Sport, H&R Race (cut front) and E90 spring hats. No spring pads.

                I'm currently working with a suspension distributor to create some E30 coilovers to add to their applications.

                  Wow, that looks lower than most for that set-up. Who are you working with, or is a secret?

                          Did you have BBS RS001 in 15x8.5 et12 and 15x9 et00 wrapped with 195/50/15 in the first pic or does the first pic show you with your current setup?

                            how can you possibly go lower on that wheel setup? it kind of appears that the tires rub the fenders every time you sneeze. you might have to corner the market on front valances. won't they get torn off every time you hit a bump? maybe an airbag suspension might fit your bill well? that way you could adjust the height on the fly.

                            your ride is really awesome, beautiful actually. i guess i personally have never been able to understand stretched tires sticking out of the fenders. maybe it reminds me of my dickhead neighbor's ricer mobile.

                            you have done one heck of a nice job on the car though.

                              Yes, it was my old setup. I tought they were a little bit small so I sold them and bought 16'' and did rebuild them to the specs I wanted. I'm pretty happy with the result.

                              It's hard to believe but it never rubs. The rear fenders are rolled and the front is not that low.

                              With coilovers/camber plates and a rear camber/toe kit I'll be able to drop it more without any issues.
