Lowered the 318 - BMW Forum

Here some shots of the 318 after i lowered it.

HR/Bilstein.

Have not gotten the alignment yet, but it still drives a little better. No more clanking in the front either. (changed the sway links and shock mounts)

either way here we go

almost wish it was a little lower, but im still happy. heres a before picture

When you lower an E30, how do you compensate for the rear semi trailing arm cambers?

has it had a few days to settle yet?

^ yeah it took a couple days of driving for mine to settle...

My e30 was lowered 2" and it didnt seem to had bad rear camber issues....

Looks nice

What kind of H&R springs did you get? how many inches of lowering did the springs advertise?

good point on the settling.

So i finally drove the car a couple of days. I love it.

I find its made for tight twisties, where my car was great in teh first place. nows its godly. I love it. The response is great. No roll.

Car will slide now no problem if im being a douche bag though. gotta watch that. otherwise...im in love.

no rougher then my 330 when its suspension wasnt worn out.
