springs

I have a 76 02 and am ready to lower the car. I

have found some H&R springs that will take the

car down 1.25". I was wondering if they make

anything for my car that will bring it down lower or if

going lower than that won't work for my car? I am

lowering my car partly for looks but mostly for

performance.

I am running close to same set up now with 205 40 16's. (honda offsets with spacers and longer front lugs)I can send you some pics of my car if you want.

I am probably gonna go with custom shortened coilovers in the future though. Check out Steve K's car.(I think he's the guy that put this board together) Mine will probably end up just a little higher. Steve tells me I will be hitting speed bumps a lot so I am hoping to minimize that. My 16's may have a hard time clearing the coilover spring perches too. Another advantage of coilovers is the increase in camber plate adjustability due to smaller upper spring perches. For the rear, Ireland engineering is supposed to have some springs that match up without going to coilovers if I'm not mistaken. To go to coilovers in the back it takes reinforcement of the shock towers and maybe more than I'm not aware of at this time.I can probably steer you towards some other resources if you want being I'm studying the options myself right now.

The good thing about being broke is you do your homework instead of rushing out and buying stuff you're not going to be happy with.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
