I was wondering if my car could use a little lowering, if so, how much?

i think your car looks fine, however lowering it would look pretty sick like that one red bimmer in those bimmerfest pics

It does look fine the way it is but it could go lower. 40mm all round might be enough

A SWEET DROP WOULD BE AN H&R SPRING KIT WITH BILSTEIN SPORT SHOCKS COMBO OR JUST THE SPRINGS WHICH WOULD LOWER IT AROUND 1.3 INCHES IN FRONT AND ANOTHER 1.3 INCHES IN THE BACK OR THE SPRING HATS WHICH IS ABOUT 1/2 INCH DROP. ANY OF THOSE WOULD PROBABLY MAKE YOUR E30 HAVE A VERY NICE LOOK. LOOKS GREAT AS IT IS THOUGH! B) B) B)

What's the current measurement of the fender/tire gap?

For all who have lowered their cars, what's your gap measurement?

or

if you see another bimmer or any other lowered car that looks cool, measure the fender/tire gap.

That's an objective method to determining how much to lower your car.

Maybe only the front needs to be lowered. You won't be able to tell until you take some additional measurements.

Lol...*off topic*...you guys ever see the video of the black kid who shoots himself in the mouth after his girlfriend apparently leaves him ...(the girl goes into an elevator then when the doors shut he pulls the trigger...)

Well to those who know what I'm talking about and don't think I'm a psycho...

I'll try to find this little gif they made of him. They just replay the moment where his legs give out...so it looks like he dancing...and they wrote "drop it like its hot" under....it's fucking hillarious...though cruel.

that's all i gotta say.

Lower that biznotch...it does seem like the front is higher.
