    Default Is this too low?

    Rear drop of 40mm (1.2 in). I am not worried too much about clearence as much as rear looking funny b/c its too low.

    I took 30mm out of mine (www.cardomain.com/ride/610024)

    And, although it bang on the bumpstop ALOT already, I wish I could get it a little lower...

    The front will need more lowering than the back, and you'll need to adjust the camber in the rear (with a camber correction kit), or your tyres won't last long at all!!

    Nick: Doesn't look bad from the pics. Since you see the car upclose, how do you think it'd look if it were dropped 10 more millimeters? Would the fender be where the edge of the rim is? You definetly need to drop the front just a tad though. It's weird that your dad and you have the same color e34. Do you guys ever accidently get in the wrong car in the mornings?

    Jeff: I think Shogun is going for the Wrangler 4x4 look here!

    another 10mm would be sick!! However, the frequent connections with the bumpstops is one hell of a worry!! Last thing I want is stuff becoming loose or busted from the continual pounding. My tyres on the rear have worn badly coz of the camber change from lowering, so I'd hate to see how quickly they'd degrade from being even lower!!

    I live in my own place, so the twins (cars) are rarely together. Even tho they look almost identical (except for tint, ride-height, clear lenses and 18in alloys) its suprising how different they are...
