Nice one, cheers mate... When i get a day off I'll fit a standard set on the back. Then I can have people in the back without worrying I'm gonna get grounded on a speed bump!

A while back I had loads of fun whilst changing my suspension setup due to a broken rear spring, anyway the outcome was my car ended up sitting ridiculously low at the back. I haven't had the time nor the patience to sort it out, plus it handles really well as a result. However its just not practical, we're worried about having anyone or anything heavy in the back in case it scrapes or the underside of the car makes contact with the floor which has happended a few times. The front is ok so I was thinking of buying a set of standard rear springs & fitting them to the car to balance it out. At present my car is at a guess 30-35mm lower at the front & 60+mm lower at the back! This is from a kit that was supposed to give a 20R & 30F drop! I can't find any pics of a standard E36 on 17" wheels to make a comparrison to. If I put standard springs on the back would the car look plain stupid? Any help much apreciated.

Dean.
