    Is the sweeper hard to drive if the road isn't smooth and taken care of? Can it get pretty harsh?

      definitely a PITA to drive around but damn everywhere i go people get paralyzed, its funny to see the look on peoples faces when they see how low this car actually is. Just drive carefully and everything will be alright

      i am on GC 550f/750r springs so its rough but not soo harsh the konis are the ishhh

              yeah it sucks though i've only put a little over 300 miles on the e30 since i got it in march :( and that includes the 200mile drive to go pick it up and 71 miles after completion of phase 1 it sucks

              looks like im gonna have to roll the shit G chassis for a bit until i can save up some money for the motor swap

                  IIRC there is a way to gain a little more oil pan clearance by spacing your motor mounts to raise the engine.... probably not much but something.

                      So wait is your motor ruined now since that belt snapped? Having that sit in ur garage or driveway must be a major heartache

                              Im running GC/Koni with 600f/700r. How did you get the front that low? Shortened koni? GC camber plates? I have an M42 and already scrape on the crown of the street; gonna get GC camber plates and go an inch lower though.
