316i- minimum lowering

cantdecide · 2010-07-16 10:46:31

My plan to drive my new acquisition 'as-is' has gone out the window already:rolleyes: The new steed is a 95 E36 316i saloon with 207,000 miles:D It's like a very dark purple. It came with a set 17" BMW reps. I don't know which ones- they're like 10x double spokes. I want to lower her now. But I want to lower it the minimum…

I want to lower her now. But I want to lower it the minimum possible amount. ideally, 20-25mm for the m-tech look. I'll probably lower the front only as the rear wheels are nicely snug in the arches anyway. All the kits I can find online are usually 40mm drop or more which is out of the question.

Anyone aware of someone that does such a kit??

I hear alot of people loving Eibach's pro kit.. 30mm drop all around with no problems on 17" wheels..

You could get the arches rolled.. mine are done on my 318is..
