The Non Lowered E30 Thread

[JasonC]

lmao at all the comments. But i would like to see what all is posted up! There have been a few stock height e30's come on here that looked great!

[MR 325]

I would say that any E30 needs at least M3 springs. My old Eta with M3 springs was a champ, no need to drive it like it was lowered but it didn't look silly. :)

Man, that factory tinted glass makes a huge difference. What a beaut.

How the hell can a bronzit, bottlecaped, stock height, e30 look so damn good? Euro bumpers are truly amazing.

[N2MYE30]

If I had an opportunity to acquire a completely stock e30 in great condition, I would leave it alone...including ride height. But then again I would have to have the rest of the fleet lowered.

Fucking sheep idiots. I'll play.

Evil-Diesel, amazing. As for all of the negative comments, I know. I do not have a problem with lowered e30's, I just prefer stock ride height. Probably because my e30 was not used by my dad for 10 years, and I looked at it like that. By the time I got it from him, I could never see lowering it.

I call this thread the


I can't afford suspension

Thread.

I think a lot of E30's can pull off not so low just fine, it's just a lot of owners don't do it right. M3 springs and 16x9 with 195 tires look horrible. Bottlecaps actually look decent on a stock height car, they look terrible lowered.

Stock heigh iX here. Fuck the sheep! I'm keeping it classy and useful.

[DTM190]

I had to raise one of mine for registration/roadworthy cert.



Drives extremely well and still handles like its on rails (Mtech1 springs/Koni's/Whiteline sways)

Tempted to NOT lower it

(I can afford it and have enough suspension set ups to sink a small ship thanks ;) )
