Fresh Out --> E30

[fitted_fit]

you wont be able to get low at all without having shortened front strut housings or full weld in coilovers (bc, fortune auto, broadway static)

the problem is e30s lose all strut travel if all you do is put really short springs on stock housings

[RougeStatus]

Yeah i think I will get BC gold coilovers in the near future,

Nice build, Ryan_E30. looks awesome

This is as low as I can get on GroundControl coilovers with shortened housings (2" iirc) and 6" springs and koni yellows. You should be able to find 5" springs which would give you more room to go lower. This is on 16" wheels with 205/45's.

That is an ideal height, is there much rubbing at the front? im guessing you have rolled the guards too >

These are ebaich and ground control front adjustable suspension.

440 ft/lb front springs
675 ft/lb rear springs
alloy threaded sleaved front and rear
51mm front strut houses to suit sleaves
blistein mtech front shocks
ground control front camber/caster plates.

They are second hand but is sort of what i am looking for? whats everyone's opinions?

What setup are you running?

[fitted_fit]

housings shortened 2" ish (maybe a little more) i cant remember the exact measurement. then corrado front shocks camaro rears and cosmo racing sleeves and springs.

My car is a bit higher than Ryan's.

This is my height running 205/40's in the front and 215/45's in the rear. I'm actually running 5" in the rear without adjusters, but I'm switching to 4" when I get back to the states in a couple months. I also think I cut about 2" off the housing when I installed these.

[RougeStatus]
