Any reason you went with the H&R OE sport over regular H&R Sport?

Have you ever seen roads in New York?

Have you ever seen roads in New York?

Yeah, but H&R sports are definitely not stiff, and just slightly lower.

[e30Matt]

Hence a lower car without getting the shit beat out of you or your oilpan.

Skid Plate + careful driving = 2 years no problem with a 3.5" dropped E30 in NYC :)

the fronts were like an inch or so shorter than the stock springs..the rears..not so much, yet some how the rear dropped evenly with the front!

Any reason you went with the H&R OE sport over regular H&R Sport?

they are softer than the sports..and i didn't want to have something too stiff, i still wanted there to be some comfort

Yeah, but H&R sports are definitely not stiff, and just slightly lower.

lol im guessing you know exactly what im talking about..

I love euro weaves.

lol yeh..that left rear spring was a bitch dude

LOVE the one finger salute... I'm sure if you had recorded the conversation you were probably having with the spring trying to pull it out that would have been an E30 classic!

My worst personal struggle was the C-clip when I replaced the oil temp sensor near the oil filter... god the foul language I used.
