    Question Recommended (budget) lowering kits 92' 318?

    Hey everyone!
    Im looking at a decent e36 for sale and I wanted to lower it and I want to know what my best option is. I only planned on lowering by about 1" or so, and I'm on a pretty tight budget and I wanted to know who knew the best place to get a decent set for cheap. One thing I don't know (so you can recommend either) is if I should buy struts and coils or just the coil springs. Open to any suggestions.
    Thanks, NTE

    Really, there is a bit of a difference between decent - cheap.
    Answer is also heavily dependent on vehicle use>DD or Track/Auto-X?

    To keep it simple,budget friendly + improve handling performance, I would go with a lowered sport-springs/shock/strut setup.

    If your only motive is stance, and proper performance is an afterthought, then definitely cheap coilovers can be an option.

    Thats what I figured. And I did plan on daily driving, however I might track it eventually so for now I'll probably just go with coilovers. If you know a good place to get some decent priced ones let me know and thanks for the advice.
