Here's my 60/40 drop
Hi
So I lowered the front by 60mm and the rear by 40mm
What do you think?

Looks good, but may I suggest a before and after shot from the same angle?

Re: Here's my 60/40 drop
What size rims are those? they look like 15s. If you really want stance, I would lower the front some more and upgrade to 16s. Get smaller sidewalls so the rim lip comes closer to the fender. Then do a roll on the front/rear fenders. The funny thing is that you can go stupid low on the E30 rear without issue. It's the front where you start to catch on stuff.

Status: HG repair. 488wtq though!

Yea they are 15's... Keeping an eye out for some 16's.
Looks better than standard but I don't think I'll bring it down anymore... I will be putting an iS front lip on though

I think the car looks really good as it sits! That drop was a good medium imo!

Re: Here's my 60/40 drop
Slightly thicker spring pads for the rear and it would work out nicely. Late model arches look annoyingly low even when the car is level.
Re: Here's my 60/40 drop
Any ideas where to buy thicker pads from?
