I work in retail...
E21s are the shit when done up.

[Twelvizm]

It's quite a bit of work to clean up a 30 year old car. Even one that's been taken care of and one family owned.

Yeah I hear you. I'm biased but I truly believe the E30 looks alot better than most cars from that era. Still a good looking car.

[Twelvizm]

Yup. The E30 and MKII Jetta GLI are my two favorite cars of 1990.

Lookin good man!

Didn't you have a project thread or something... here or somewhere else?

[Twelvizm]

Yeah, I've been documenting everything I do to the E21 here:

It's nothing too exciting. Just me going through the car and trying to make it presentable.

Stock suspension, cut. The stock spring rates are so soft, that you can cut them down and still have a nice ride. I'm going to get some Bilsteins sports and then some camber adjusting goodies and call it good.

What does H&R not make lowering springs for E21?

I heard that. I'm doing the same with mine.


Although lately it seems like everything I fix, I break something else

[Twelvizm]

They do. But, cutting the springs is arguably better on an E21:

That article is so full of outlandish claims.

Just about every drawback of the lowering springs should really be put into the drawbacks of cutting springs.

I say it and it shall be done.

I've never seen a publication promoting the cutting of coil springs before. And from Metric Mechanic no less!
