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.
