  1. The only way to lower your car and have it still corner and be safe is to do it properly.

    This doesn't mean spending alot of money.

    You can have a pretty low e30 with off-the-shelf lowering springs. Buy a good brand liek H&R for a few hundy, and you'll be happy with the result.

    Remeber, you'll probably find that your shocks will be wrecked running lowered springs on stock shocks. To put in correct shocks you're looking at spending $1,000-2,000. The difference however is night and day, and this is without going to a coil-over setup.

    Double your money (or more) and you'll be looking at something very decent. I'm not sure what henry has spent, but that's what I mean by very decent.

    Also rememebr that if any of the chassis, suspension, or steering is below 100mm from the ground you will need a cert or you risk getting a greeny or pinky = $$$$$ better off spending the money now and doing it right and enjoying a good setup than doing it on the cheap, getting some fines and maybe killing someone.

    ^^very true, is there a difference in ride height with stock e30 suspension and 'motorsport suspension'?
