E30 Coilover options for budget ballin'

[hootie]

Not sure why it happened, but all the bolts holding the cam gear onto the cam snapped and the valves and the pistons became one.

I have been toying with the idea of an M30. Will the oil pan be significantly higher? Currently my oil pan sits 1.5-2 inches off the ground, and I am sitting on GC coils/nonshortened Koni's along with GC camber plates.

I am either thinking about shortening the oil pan or throwing in an M30, but then again if I am going to do it, I might as well do an M50...

Isn't m50 pan clearance worse then an m20?

[Byron]

yeah it is, m30 pan is the highest pan for e30's. I'll go take some pics of the variations on my cars.

m20 pan. can't see it too well because of the shield but its about even with the rack


m42 (damn profile gasket)


m30. this shot really shows the difference- the m30 car is an inch lower than the m42 one

[hootie]

Yeah that looks good. I think I am just going to shorten the oil pan by about 1.5 inches, and raise up the engine by an inch and skinny the hood. That way I can effectively go another 2.5 inches lower. And the oil pan will be hidden because it will go up 2.5 inches. I dont care about knocking other shit around down there.

We don't take kindly to teasers 'round these parts.

So will a M30 pan fit a M20?

I only paid 450 for my D2's. But you can probably get them for 600 or so if you look around enough.
They got me pretty low.
Not as low as the ground control guys are though.
I can go as low as them in the rear, but the front needs alot of trimming and welding to make the d2 fronts work.
