I want to stiffen and lower my M3 Evo saloon but I can't afford coilovers (so please don't say they're the only way to go). There seem to be loads of lowering springs around - what's the best set and what effect will they have? TIA.
How old is the car and how many miles has it done bud? By now most E36s suspension will be well past it's best so putting a set of lowering springs on the car isn't exactly a good idea in my opinion of course!
I would go for a set of Eibach Pro. Lower the car about 20mm IIRC. As long as you have the standard wheels (17inch) not something bigger then ride quality shouldnt be too bad. Dont go for the Eibach 'Sports' or your fillings will fall out.
