So I'm kinda getting scared away from the Raceland coilovers. Am now thinking of doing the h&r cup kit with the race springs. What do you guys think?
-
Will his get me somewhat low and get rid of the wheel gap? Or oher sub $1000 dollar ideas. I want to get something ordered tomorrow. Or what would be the lowest springs out there? I can figure out shocks to go with any spring.

I think you would be much happier long term with a quality kit like the H&R. If you want it to be stanced (not dissing that but it is a completely different goal) then get racelands. If you want a good handling lowered car get the H&R. I have an Eibach Sport shock/spring kit on my e36 and I love it. It is not dragging on the ground, I never worry about scraping on a driveway but the wheel gap is gone and it handles great but still rides like a BMW should. The H&R says a 2" drop in the front which I think would be a great height. The rear doesn't drop as much because they already look saggy in the rear.

Thats what I'm looking for. Form and function. All my other bimmers were lowered on springs alone. Just can't stand wheel gap
-
Don't get racelands for an e30. Even if you want to be stanced out, they won't work for that. For a sub $1000 setup I wouod highly recommend bilstein sport rear shocks, ground control springs and collars, and corrado front strut inserts. Section about 1"-2" out of the front struts and mount the collars and you have the best budget coils you can get=)
-
I am not able to weld them back together if thats what you mean by sectioning them.

Think i am going with either the h&r kit or kyb shocks with h&r race springs for 100 bucks less. I had kyb's on my e39 with eibach sport springs and it rode very well.

What is the wheel hub bore spec anyway on a 1987 335e? I assume its 4x100 bolt pattern.

Thanks

Here it is. If the pics post

Yea I was gonna ask how do you tuck the bumpers? Also whats the word on the JOM coilovers? Looks like decent reviews for the most part. Because I watched a vid on a h&r race spring install and the after pics the front still hass like over a inch of wheel gaaaaap

Struts and springs will still lead to wheel gap. JOM's ride like cheap coilovers. The springs/sleeves, corrado inserts, and rear bilsteins is really the way to go on a budget.
Tucking bumpers involves drilling a small hole in the bumper shocks and smacking the bumpers in.

You can snag a set of e90 spring hats for $30 from the dealer to even out the front ride height with h&r race
