I just took my original springs and cut off 2 coils from the front and 1.5 in the rear.  No spacers in the front.  I also removed the upper dot 2 spring pad from the rear and used vinyl tubing.  I love how it sits and the ride isn't as bad as I thought it would be, drives more like go-cart now.  See the before and after:

Are your tires 165’s? I’m undecided between stock or 175’s. Thanks

[Rudy Ruiz]

Pdx, my tires are 175/70/13. I was trying to see if I could push it by putting 185’s on the stock 4.5 wheels. Eventually I listened to what some of the FAQers suggested about 185’s feeling bulky on that wheel. I’m really happy with the look of the tire when lowered, they looked super whimpy when at stock height.

CATuned coilovers, 15x8 et0, 205’s. It has 20mm spacers in the rear and our 0.75” wider control arms in the front. 5cm flares. 
 

-3° camber front and same in the back. Really need to get some adjusters in the rear to get the camber in check. I really like -3° front and -2° rear with 0° toe all around. I think it’s a great setup for a good handling street car with good tire wear.

Gotta fiddle with my dual carb setup then I'll be good to go

Wish folks would post their recipes with their stances.

Lot's of really interesting looks...but no info on how to achieve the desired stance.

Anyone running any Copomotives similar to this E30 M3? 

 

 

Looks like they make some 15x8 and 16x8 here: https://www.comp.co.uk/wheels/wheels.asp?section=th-82-17

 

Which should fit on a car with Turbo fenders with a spacer (was reading 8" width +0 is a good fitment for Turbo Flares)

[flipflop]

15x9 Steelies.. Square set up, lowered on Bilstein w/ H&R springs.. fenders are cut.  Rubs in the front at full lock and rubs in the rear after a big bump.. running 205/50/15 a little stretched. 

 

Anyone having unusually bad tie rod wear and tear running 15x9 wheels?  If so, What did you guys do to fix the issues? TIA

ground control coilovers up front. Ground control adjustable spring perches in the rear with half a coil taken out and the perches spun all the way up. I’m running as much camber as I can with GC camber plates and 10mm spacers on the front wheels. 195/50/15 tires on Hardy&beck e30 variant wheels
