At the risk of sounding like a douche... You've got to pay to play. Suspension is one of the if not THE MOST important components of a vehicle. Why would you cheap out on it?
The setup listed above is the most cost effective way to go low on an e30 and maintain shock travel/ride quality.
Don't be a cheap ass, you will only waste time and money/compromise your safety and those around you. As simple as it sounds, if you cant afford it .... DONT DO IT. If you cannot afford to modify your car properly with quality tested parts, save up until you can or just don't do it. Coilovers aren't essential to making your car function so spend your money on maintenance and other odds and ends before you try and half ass a cheap suspension setup because you want to fit in and look cool.

I know this for a fact, by experience of course . Kyb's slammed have no travel, need something a good 3 inches or more shorter. Tucking 195/50R15's hard up front:

thats as far as i would go, and thats enough to tuck stuff.

well to be honest....these konis came with my setup and im not 100% sure which they are, however i do know they are very short. Heres a pic after installed still waiting for the springs to settle....rears all the way down fronts half way between top n bottom...this is what i got.
Like i said springs arent compltely settled and only half way down!!
Theres some light between the exhaust n pavement.....
