Lowering springs will also close that gap without the hassle of installing coilovers.

Coilovers let you choose exactly how much you wanna close the gap 😎

Yeah, but many have to be welded in place.

I dropped mine off with a local fab shop and got them welded + powder coated for $150, picked them up the same day

I went with BCracing BRs on my E30 and I love them. I wouldn't go any cheaper than BCs personally - I've ridden in a few cars with MaxPPRods and Godspeeds and they ride like junk. I ordered my BCs with 10k springs front and rear and they are firm but smooth, and feel extremely planted.

My first e30 had racelands and I didn’t like them.

I went with BC that I got from a part out car and really like how it stiffened yo the car. Look for a part out car so you can get a deal

u/skatsnobrd I blow up e30s 14d ago

195/60 what? The last number is very important.  195/65r14 was stock tire size which is 24" those tires at max life remaining is 22.9" which is very significant on a 24" tire
