H&R Cup Kit Installed! - Is this low..enough?

[TheyCallMeDale]

dayyyum that car is low. Lil too low for my tastes but to each their own.

:shock: :up: HELL YEA! That is HOT! If it'll do that for all cabrios then I will be pleased b/c Cup Kit is #1 on my "to do" list. Kudos to a sweet e30.

It looks too low. That can actually fuck up your suspension geometry making it handle worse. That said I love a slammed car (just check mine out).

As for jacking, I always have to rig up a small hydrolic lift to jack up the front on the frame rails before getting a floor jack under there. The rear is a bit of a pain.

That looks ghetto as all hell.

You need larger wheels.

Gosh I wish I had wheels to install so I could see what else Jordan would've said ;)

Of course, you can't attack me using the automatic thing, thats overdone :oops:

Thanks again Jordan, for all the advice you gave me.

haha ha @ those pizza cutter wheels.....
Always get rims before drop, it just looks stupid the other way around.

I see ppl all the time that get a large drop and keep their
stock 14in wheels, it's the most ridiculous thing on the planet.
All together though it'll be sweet when u get some different
tread under there. Good job.

I think it looks badass.. you do need bigger wheels though, mostly it's the high offset of the factory 14" bbs. get something around ET25 (say, Ronal LS 15x7.5" :twisted: ) and it won't look so goofy.

Are you kidding? Always do suspension before wheels. That way you don't run into clearance issues. Stock ride height cars with aftermarket wheels look ridiculous.

That being said, what's the deal with the slam on that car? You don't have double unequal length a-arms on the car, so sitting that low will absolutely destroy the handling. You've also managed to make it undriveable on 95% of the roads in the US.

I disagree completely. Drop before rims, in all cases. There is NOTHING worse that a car on huge rims and stock suspension.


Damn dude, that is way too low.
If you bought that kit new, you may want to call up the company and let them know how much it dropped your car. My friend had the same thing happen when he got H&R Sports for his Passat last summer. The springs were way too short and ended up dropping his car like 3 inches, when they were only supposed to drop it 1" or so. I would definitely give H&R a call.

[92 mtechnic cabrio]

Okay, will do.

[shahe]

raise it man, if you hit an ant, youll take out your windshield!

[808BMW]

Theres no such thing as too low.

Got any still pics? mainly how much tire you are tucking front and rear.

[Super Eta]

Thats still a bit high...i think you can go a bit lower.

[Smoove1]

Get bigger wheels and that think will be beautiful. My car has a CupKit and It's just as low but on 17s. Good to know that my CupKit isn't the only one too low after all....

[Pedro]

that looks crazy

Seeing that pic reminded me of this guys on Max who always used to say he had the keys to the lowest bimmer.

That car is certainly lower than yours, but i think its because its a convertible.. my friend's old iC was super-slammed on H &R Sports. BTW, your RK's would look much much hotter if you put a spacer on them. Look at the rears.. it looks like a v6 mustang rockin' 185's under shelter-like fenders that'll house 315's! Kick em out some..

The Drop top is too low mang, get some rims with big profile.
