I still think the back needs to come down by 10mm


Its a 60/40 drop and I like the rake, I just think the back should be a fraction lower.

I've got to say I do like the nose down stance but equally cars always look good when the body seems level.
Also I see you're in Kent, can you recommend a garage as I've just got myself an E30. also don't suppose you have a set of the 15inch BBS that come on some e30's?

Cotty, i can't remember the amount of times i've seen your touring and it still looks minters! You're right tho', an extra 10mm would see it sitting nicely. Alternatively, a couple of kilos of bricks/shopping at tesco/finest columbian stuffed in the boot would see it sitting just as right wink

Still a sweet car smile

The front needs to go up by 9.75 mm approx

The best person you could take your E30 to in Kent is Ant at A-Tech

Cotty, time to concentrate on another area.

The stance on that is perfect and just as I would have it.


Carry on...

I think it'll look great a fraction lower at the back. My E36 touring looked mean when one of the rear springs had snapped, unfortunately it wasn't very practical.

What a lovely car, I think I've seen it in the flesh at some point (Le Mans or Virginia Waters maybe?)

I know how you feel about the rear height, my ex Rover always looked like it sat too high at the back but I never did anything about it.

Or maybe the other fella is right, does the front need to come up? Maybe raise the front by 5mm and drop the back by 5mm wink

I'd keep it as is, the rake looks good plus it's practical for stocking up on beer. It will be level with 144 cans of Stella in there.
