What wheels/offset are you running. If youve got MV's you can use the sportline springs or H&R race springs. Should drop you another 20mm or so without rubbing. All depends on the offset.

yes spot on lee im running the mv,s i would like to change them in the future but im finding it difficult to like another wheel it seems all the ones i like are well over £1500 (soppose its a small price for happiness) is there any spring that will go lower than the 20mm you say?? if need be i would consider rolling the arches

Eibach Sportline springs will give you a perfect drop [cool Check out Durgesh's drop :cool:
It sounds like a small drop, but actually is quite a big drop.
I personally wouldn't go any lower as I think it looks lame if your car's too low! Each to their own tho, just my advice.

Sorry meant 20mm over sport springs, about 40mm over yours.

the convertible is heavier so the drop looks more on a drop check out the thread cars finally slammed by stock 323 i lower his ride at the weekend he is running 17" but as metioned if u got the right offset you rhaqve no rubbing issues at all.


or you can use coilovers this was my old ride on 19" with no rubbing 265/30/19 rubber up the rear

if your gonna go 4 a big drop i would advise changing the shocks as well as the springs if your budget allows, if u got some more dosh then coilovers are really the only way to go if you wanna slam the bitch on her belly!

That's a nice looking coupe westside [cool
I'm running 18's with 7mm spacers. Since I got the super charger if I've got more than one passenger and I floor it, it'll rub. U recon arches need rolling....

[westside]

kris 2 things to check b4 you go get the aqrchs rolled are the archs actually catching or i sthe black inside trim by the bumper? i know yours is an e46 but on the e36 the black inner arch catchs it just need to have a little cut and your be ok. if the archs needs rolling then i know a place in west london (hayes) that is wicked ther do loads of VW and BMW not sure where u are based but its an option. Also what condition are you bump stops in are the fecked ? may be worth checking.

[lee330sport]

Sounds like it Kris. Rolling should do the job.
