It would be more consistent to do centercap to fender, and works with any tire/wheel size.

true, true

someone with m3 springs and 195/55-14 tires care to measure the ground-to-fender peak length?

My vert also rides on M3 Springs and I love the drop...in fact at times I think its too low especially with our oil pans...

yea, 40mm is a common drop, well, slightly less than most I guess, but more than m3 does, 80mm is pretty big...You can't even buy 80mm drop springs for e30s, But I see what you're saying about the front, I have no idea, so I can't really say.

[SpecM]

and 40mm isnt low at all over stock-- 80mm is just starting to look good.

40mm ~ 1.5", not a bad drop to clean up the front-end of a daily

[mikeedler]

every e30 sits at a different height after 20+ years. some cars could have had cracked springs 10 years ago and recieved new ones, whereas most crapbox ETAs probably have sagged out old springs. I have seen 316i cars that look like 4x4s with stock suspensions, and I have seen plenty that look o.k. without a drop.-- heck, if e30s cracked springs just 10% of what e46 cars do, then every 5 years we would have changed them out.

and rear springs dont count-- i was talking about the fronts--M3 is a 40mm drop over stock (original)-- just like the M tech suspension-- and that is with the "lighter" S14.

and 40mm isnt low at all over stock-- 80mm is just starting to look good.

If you knew how much I had to do, and how little time to do it in, your head would spin (as mine does).
