You will have the same problem with coilover's on an e30, unless the shock is really really short. When I had ground controls with cheapy lowering shocks I was running 4" springs with the adjuster a few turns from bottomed and the spring could come out with lifting the car ever so slightly.

Im ok with that but with cut rear springs theres nothing even holding them there from sliding out even when not jacked up.

ahh I see what you mean, well I heated mine out back to not have that issue, but if you wanted to get creative you could make some delrin mounts to hold the springs tight again after cutting. At that point its almost better off to just drop the coin and grab some gc's.

Love this car!

Im in the process of trying to convince my friend to sell me his e30 convertible so I can do something like this!

Stance looks awesome and looks like you can still really drive it!

I'm not past my VW's yet, but I love the E30 and I love the steels and side exit.

I had one for about ten seconds, sort of. Pestered a dude that left one on the street w/ no plate for a month after he moved. Made a deal to get it for a song on a Friday morning. He came up from Philly to CT on Sat morning to hand me the keys, and the spot where it was was strangely empty. Tow truck thieves got it in the middle of the night. Timing really is everything.

Good luck w/ it, I hope it treats you well. I'm a big fan of what you've done so far.
