    Well, here's the issue... The Later E36 had the Sealed tranny which BMW stated was a "Lifetime" unit... NOT !!

    They built the unit and STILL had to introduce it's fluid, so a filler is there (a drain too)... Change the fluid, Simples... Do it sooner rather than trust a Gimmick !!

    Having said the above, if its not broken, leave it alone eh?

    They will drop to the floor mate... Decide how low you'd like it and search for some stock lowering springs... Decently priced !

    Dave's a Tranny :lol: :P

    I lowered my E36 saloon a few years ago with a full Spax sports kit. Very pleased with both ride comfort and handling. It sits lower than an M3 on 17's

    Just watch out for the negative camber on the rear wheels, and the rear wheel alignment. Set it to parrallel, not what it tells you on autodata. I went for the recomended autodata spec on the back and shredded a pair of new michelin hp primacy's in 10K.

    Have fun.
