hey i am currently running a 100% stock suspension set up i am looking to lower my car more than likely i will be using coilovers . However i am not looking to just lower my car the regular way i want that slant look i think it looks sexy especially on an e30.My question is how do i achieve this look and are there any major drawbacks to this set up

That is what mine looked like after I installed my H&Rs and Bilsteins in the front but had not yet on the rear.

You really don't want to drive it like that do you?

i think that's a little too much rake-

i want rake for my car as well, but just such that the front and rear arches both "line up" with the tire in approximately the same way.

yeah I think he means Negative camber. there might be an adjustment on our cars I dunno. But lowering will give you some - camber.

no i meant rake but not too extreme just enough to even out the fender clearances

If you want them to line up you will probably have to leave the rubbers in at the front and remove them at the rear.
