I don't have any personal experience with the BavAuto springs, but I was "talking" (emailing) a guy there and he said they allow the car to sit low, but with a softer spring rate than most that sit that low (I didn't bother to ask the rates). I lost interest at that point.

Hey..
I am looking around at peoples rides to see which springs they are using and how they look on the ride. I came across "rev3limited" website as I was searching the web. Here is a pic of their board members 325.
I hope it is allowed to post other peoples ride pic.:confused:
About the pic.
What springs can lower my car like this?
Where can I get those rims?

those look like euro weaves from that shot. You would have to find someone on the boards that have some or ebay.de

Those cant be euroweaves. Euroweaves dont have that much of a dish.
How about the drop. What springs could get me that drop?

The wheels you see are Ronal LS. Do a search here and you will see what they look like with caps. If I'm not mistaken he's running IE stage 3's with Koni's. IIRC, the car is a older model 325is with wider arches, meaning the same setup wouldn't look alike.

Thanks.
I know how the Ronal LS look like and that is what i want/will get. It just that in that pic they looked a little different but similar to Ronal LS and I want something a little different than what most people have but I love the clean look of the Euroweaves and the Ronal with the beautifull dish look.
Now, where can I get the IE Stage 3's. What does the name stand for.
I am a new owner of the e30 and trying to learn as much as possible.
Thanks.:)

IE=Ireland Engineering ( http://www.bmw2002.com/ ) They have the IE Stage 3 springs custom made for them by Eibach. Right now they are currently on backorder and have been for a couple months although we are all told they will be in stock very soon.

I don't think those are Ronal LS's. Its pretty clear that there is no weaving. To me they look like Rota Track-Rs:

I found more pictures and they are Ronal LS:D . I really did think they were Rota Track R's. Its just that in that particular pic you cant really see the weave.
I also looked around for what springs people used and what drop it gave them. I think IE stage 3's are too low for city and I dont really like how the rear looks (its too low). Maybee when I start taking it to the track I may want to consider IE's. WHILE H&R Sports look perfect (balanced with front and rear) especially with the Ronals LS's. Just like in the pic I posted.
Am I correct? Do the IE stage 3 lower the most or lower than H&R sports?
here are BBS RZ.

here are BBS RZ.
That's strange. BBS naming 2 different wheels "RZ"
These are the RZ's Im familiar with.
