Infestus 0 Report post Posted March 10, 2008 (edited) Just got some new springs for my E30 and thought I might stick some photos on here. Doesnt bounce at all and still handles fine. Some of you might like it, some of you might hate it, tell me what you think but I love it. Oliver Edited March 10, 2008 by Oliver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Infestus 0 Report post Posted March 10, 2008 nice just needs to come down a bit more at the front.. and loose those flaps Yea might bring it down abit more, the guy who compressed my springs said he could put it lower for me for free if I wasnt happy with it, I really recommend NZ Spring Works in lowerhutt the guy there seems to know his stuff and he only charges $180 for all 4 springs, only takes him about an hour as well.

Mike 1 Report post Posted March 10, 2008 (edited) They are 70mm at the back at 65 at the front. 70mm is a huge drop for an e30 in the rear, can you post up the alignment specs? just wondering why you went more at the back than the front, most people do the opposite if anything.

Infestus 0 Report post Posted March 11, 2008 Well done bro, hit some photos up with out them mud flaps. Gues the back isnt captive? how come you didnt go 90mm Thats with no flaps, the back is pretty captive, didnt go 90mm because the guy at NZ spring works said that the rear stock e30 springs shouldnt be compressed any more then 70mm, am glad I didnt go 90mm because even with 70mm my exhaust where it goes under the diff scrapes on little bumps. 70mm is a huge drop for an e30 in the rear, can you post up the alignment specs? just wondering why you went more at the back than the front, most people do the opposite if anything. When I got the car the back seamed to sit higher then the front on the stock springs, also I wanted to keep issues with the sump and steering down as low as possible with this ride hight. What do you mean by alignment specs? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike 1 Report post Posted March 11, 2008 (edited) What do you mean by alignment specs? The results from the wheel alignment? Its pretty standard to get one after pulling half your suspension out, let alone changing the ride hieght by such a huge amount.

Might pay to think about what you are going to do to correct your camber as well as that is going to be way out. There are some other posts about this topic on the board somewhere. By the way im looking for some rear mudflap mounting brackets for a pre f/l E30 - if you want to sell yours, plz pm me.
