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 rolleyes.gif ) 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. dry.gif Any advice would be great.
Thanks,
Jordan

Here's how she's sitting (the front is now lower)

might sound dumb but, did you take the collars out of the rear coils?

thats gonna damage your car PRETTY bad. get some new springs for it. rock them all the way down. try for some more adjustable suspension goodies and try for moar lower. then some bigger wheels if possible.

big rims lift your car sad.gif 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.

I've heard that gc and kw's kit dump e30's, but i don't think they sell rear kits alone dry.gif

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.
