    ummmm.....too low in aesthetics and safety of oil pan clearance. I dunno if its the extra weight of the cabrio at play here but its way too low. Bigger wheels should help you some.

    Here's the cup kit on a 6cyl e30 with bigger wheels for reference

            this is ghetto but it works.. my floor jack would barely not fit under my diff... solution, get another dude to lift up the car.. it doesn't take too much strength to lift the car up 1"

              Drive the wheels on a couple of boards before you stick the jack under it.

                Both reasonable solutions, reason why I asked is because i was working on the e30 today and realized that at stock height i only had 1" or maybe 1.5" to work with, so when i put my springs/shocks on next week it will be quite tight under there.

                    Yes, I'm getting bigger wheels during the summer time....

                    I jack my car up by means of a very short jack that was originally made for Nissans, works very well.

                    Still looking at Borbet Type As, Brock B1s (or something like that), Work Eurolines, BBS RS-1s, or the deep dish TSWs.....with the TSWs at the very bottom of the list.

                    Yes, the spring pads are still in there.

                      using wheel sizes to adjust a cars height is ultra ghetto fabulous. thats what tire sizing is for.


                      thats fucking low by the way

                            Nice car but that is too low. The centers of the wheels dont sit in the wells right.
                            Im now E30less.

                              You need larger wheels.

                                WOW, that is low! I'm only on the Eibach Pro Kit and I still scrape the front apron entering car parks. Did you get cabriolet specific springs?

                                Lookin good though, and can't wait to see the new rims on :)
