      I couldn't stand it that low! and on cut springs/blown shocks it was terrible, especially for the roads here in Florida.

      thanks :) and she really likes the volvo, but damn it's slow! aha

              Running the same springs in my car, kinda soft but great for daily duty. I didn't have that problem tho:/ both my wheels are /-----\ but that's normal for an e30.

                was the rear end way too high?

                I might just get some rear camber bolts and call it a day, though I'd rather figure out this issue with why it's even like that to begin with.

                  You could have a bent A-arm,, Thats what happened to my car. a previous owner hit a curb in snow so when it was at original height it was like |----\ ,, I would at least check it out ;)

                          guh! last night my clutch cylinder took a crap on me! Left me stranded with absolutely no clutch. I can drive using rev matching once I get out of first, but I honestly don't know how to start out with no clutch.

                            I have a 3.73 in mine and I love it. I drove my friend's 325e with a 2.93 and it was hell.
                            If you do a lot of highway driving the 3.73 might be too short, but I don't mind revving high going 90 down the highway, because I love the quick acceleration that gearing gives me.

                              Push start into second? Must be a bitch doing that every time you start the car tho

                                how would I idle at a stop light then? I could get it out of gear, but not back into gear. I'd have to (somehow) push start it. I'm not strong and I only weigh 140 so pushing my car really is quite difficult..... embarrassingly.

                                I'm going to have to get this clutch cylinder fixed, and then some other issues, and then I'll go back to the rear diff. I think it's the guibo causing the majority of the driveline issues anyway.
