The only Vert in here has an M3 setup. Just talked to H&R and they say that the reg 318is sports will sag lower in the back and look bad. What are people using in the verts for lowering?

This weekend I installed...

New control arms and M3 CABs
H&R 29664 springs
Bilstein Sports
E90 drop hats

I'm pretty pleased with the looks and very pleased with the comfortable ride, yet much improved handling.

Next weekend...
Z3 rack swap

i will soon, when it's all done. I gotta finish up and swap in the rear subframe i'm building (refreshed 3.91 LSD w/MZ3 bushing, AKG 80A subframe bushings/75D TA bushings, weld-in camber/toe kit, re-inforced TAs, and new rear wheel bearings... just waiting on the bushings/bearings to get here so I can put it all together) Still waiting for my backordered General Exclaim UHP tires to come so i can mount my kosei K1s that are almost refinished.

the rear end isn't finished yet, but I can email you some teasers. She's no beauty queen, but my fav E30 to drive having own 2 325is in the past.

95 318ti M42 is on the stand with M44 crank inside. Engine will be at Rebello Racing later this month getting the bottom end put together/balanced, just waiting on pistons to show up.

I'm running the following:

Dinan Springs
Bilstien Sports
M3 CAB
Ireland Engineering 22/19 adjustable bars

The stance before and after:

H&R 29664 / Bill Sports
GC Touring plates
10mm rear spring pads
ST Sways

Still haven't had time to swap my rebuilt rear-end in, or put on the RX-7 brakes.

White lower valence will be here on Tuesday. Then I'll be ordering an IS lip/skirts and hitting the body shop.
