I run suspension techniques bar in front... it's a good product, although the installation instructions are a tad cryptic...

Febi - What size wheels/tires are you running, that looks to be the drop I'm after.  Also did you have to add/remove any spring hats to get that stance?

I have 3 brands in mind for sway bars:
Eibach Pro Kit
IE 22/19 kit
TMS 22/19 kit

What are your thoughts??

the wheels are ronal 15x7.5, tires BF Goodrich G-force sports, 215 50 15

The tires are probably a teeny bit on the small side, no biggie and the tires are good street tires for the money.

I am using stock spring pads, no hats... the car really isn't that crazy low, but it all works out.

I've driven Jay's car (thumper3ld --I'm sure he will log on if he ever stops playing WOW) and he has H&R race springs... his car handles GREAT.

the H&R Sport springs lower the car about 1.25inch...it's not bad at all on the street. Just be careful of which speed bumps you go over, the longer they are the most chance you have of hitting something but in my case all that scratched was the cat and resonator and it wasn't that bad either. I live in terrible road conditions...Quebec roads warrant the use of a rally car as a DD...The secret is to be careful and keep in mind your a bit lower and it is very liveable.


where about in quebec are you from? i'm from Dorval, it'd be nice to have an e30 gathering next summer. dont know if there's many people from here in this forum
