Hey guys,
I am currently running ksport coilovers on my early model e30 I am satisfied with the height in the front (low enough that I cracked my oil pan  ) but I am not getting the drop I want in the rear even after chopping the rear springs. I am barely tucking if I even am.  Any advice would be great.Thanks, Jordan Here's how she's sitting (the front is now lower)

big rims lift your car
 unless you get serious about rim tuck. nobody makes a shorter strut for your car? or you could do what people do to the fronts of cars when they raise strut towers.
-------------------- there will always be somebody with a cooler car than you...just dont park next to that person

You have an early model e30, with early arches. If you're looking for that some tuck in the front, mega tuck in the rear a la rusty etc, you got the wrong car. get a late e30 with the lower rear arches.
