1991 325is stock stance????
Hi! I have a question? It's really my brother's question ??? My answer to him was that it is normal!!!
I just installed front struts & rear shocks in my brother's e30 & the front of the car sits about 1.5" higher in the front from the top of the tire to the fender, than rear. Is this normal for the
E30???  |

If you're measuring the wheel arches, the E30 front wheel arches are noticeably higher than the rears. |

I have dinan springs, I went with their stage 1 suspension when i did it, have koni sport adjustable to go with them. The dinan springs give a sweet rake to the car. |
