learn how to drift with the 1.6 mate then when your ready go to scrap yard and get a 2.0 or 2.5 and your love it. dont forget to change the brakes too |
Cut springs i WOULDN'T! recommend, especially on a 316, the shock travel would be longer than the spring and you'd end up having the rear springs parting company if you cut too much out.
If you want decent suspension on the cheap, go hunt down a Touring / 318is / 325i Sport being broken for spares and have the springs and shocks off that. Dirt cheap at about the same price as new lowering springs, but providing the shocks are good (they usually are since they were Bilstien inserts from the factory!
) you'll have a realitively good handling car outta the box
