    BBS r(YES!)s *NON-bmw content inside*

    I don't have an E30 (just some envy) so I did the next best thing ...

    The rear is a little too high, but I need to cut out the wheel wells and box them... then chop the fenders a bit.

    That looks awesome, even if it is a Volvo.

            Yeah rear has to go down, it is a crime to leave it that high. Worst part is I already dropped the rear 1.5 inches from stock! :-(

            I bought some 5x11 springs because I figured that would take it down real nice, but I underestimated. Once I figure out the rear I am making coilovers for the fronts (already have the stuff for the c-overs just need to get off my lazy arse and finish them.)

            5x9's will probably be the next reasonable choice for the rear but I need to get some better shocks for the rear because the HD's won't be able to handle that low of a spring with a high rate. (The 5x9's I found are 400lbs!) So we'll see how it progresses in the near future. Hopefully MUCH lower haha

            Thanks for the good words, I wasn't sold on how they would look but then I got the rear on and I knew it turned out nicely :-)

                  The car will be awesome when you get another couple inches lower
