I've yet to see any e30's at autocross, or any driving events really. Why why why why why?

I daily drive mine, but I also autoX with it. I've had 3 class wins this year, 3 2nd places by literally hundredths of a second. I also instruct autoX in the M3.
Looks be dammed, I want the best handling car I can make. I don't care if the front end is a little taller than the rear. If thats the way it needs to be to get the suspension geometry right, so be it. The same thing with fender gaps.

don't hate whats wrong with wanting a good driving car on the street.I say driving around California probably as dangerous as a race track.doing auto cross events does not make you a race car driver either just a guy who wishes he was one.So they want a better handling car whats confusing about that?I have feeling you a little jealous nothing wrong with that We all wish we could have everything we want.ow by the way I wouldn't be one the guys on your list I only have H&R sport springs and shock tower strut bar
My car is a e30 m3 .

I bought my coil overs so I can begin to track my car...and for looks, i like stance, but I also daily/double duty my e30. I have only done 2 auto X's, but honestly auto x is 1 minute of hard driving. Its the windy roads, freeway on-ramps, and fun turns you come across while dailying is why I LOVE my coil overs...
Just save....it sounds like you want coil overs.
It's also a way to buy and replace/upgrade all the old suspension we have on our cars...the GC kit, along with a couple bushings here and there, basically gives a brand new suspension to a 21+ year old car.(SOLD) 1988 327i Build Thread: http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=155086

You are all idiots, you shouldn't do anything to the suspension unless you are auto xing, you also shouldnt make it faster than stock unless you are planning on taking it to the strip, you are also a douchebag if you wear running shoes but do not compete in at least 3 marathons a week1987 325ic

to the OP, I'm guessing your regretting replacing your worn original shocks/springs with OE?
Also I dont get why you think suspension equals road racing.
Why not upgrade to sports suspension? Also lower suspension equals less airflow/turbulence on the undercarriage=improved mpgRenting my rear wheel bearing tool kit. SIR
