What is the stock ride height on my car? I think it may have been lowered by the previous owner, as the springs are blue and the ride seems slightly firmer than my brothers e28, also he says it seems to have less body roll.

It is lowered, at least in the rear (due to the current spring or a broken/dead stock spring, perhaps). Notice the camber.

I have no idea who makes a blue E34 spring, but there are lots of generics out there.

Definately lowered. I'm liking the education on all the different colors of the springs.

the purples are cool but from the pics they seem to drop as much as the Bav Autos which is NOT good for the V8. My sig pic is with the H&Rs so that might give you an idea.

EDIT: I dont get any rubbing or scraping of the tires.
