hybrid 1044 Report post Posted August 10, 2007 Basically the look your after isnt dictated by lowering your car below whats actually safe. You can achieve it with wheels that follow the curve of your guards (IE 19inch wheels on an e46) You also use body kits that are lower around the outside of the car but still dont go lower than the lowest point on your car (usually around the gearbox area or diff) The wheels fill your guards with the correct offset so they are right out to the edge of the guard while not scaping and the whole kit gives you a sense that the car is low as well. this way your still at 100mm your suspension is still working properly you have way more grip on the road (wider tyres) and it looks the biz (while passing warrents). Bags on BMWs are a contradiction. Taking (for its era) a brilliantly handling car and turning it to handle like sh*t. I understand that its cool in some circles n all that which is fine. But people rarely try it the other way in this country. Seriously youll enjoy your car a crap load more. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diablo23 1 Report post Posted August 11, 2007 it is nice but its definely a hell of alot move expensive to do, and i personally dont have the time or money, so lowerin springs for me personally is the best option since im a poor student with no job lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hybrid 1044 Report post Posted August 11, 2007 yeah I hear ya, but lowering beyond 50mm is stupid in most cases. Personally Im really not a fan of wheels up in the guards look. To me (and most performance oriantated people) when we see a car like that, the words rangi crosses most peoples minds. Not having a dig, just stating whats on people minds around this topic. All im illustrating above is there are other ways to get the look that I think you are all 'trying' to achieve without doing it the 'wrong' way.

PBOY23 0 Report post Posted August 11, 2007 lol yeah thats to true there always a pt when low can be too low lol, but the performance ppl and aesthetics people opinion are always gonna clash to some degree lol i like lowering bmws esp e36 because they tuck the back wheels nice , personal opinion bodykits are nice to a certain degree but for bmws an quality they arent cheap eg a full rieger kit , i no way wil go lower than 50ml as it will be a pain but i will happy with 75 lol (personal opinion) that silver e46 coupe is awsome but man how much money to do all that love those rims , yo e30 an diablo what you guys rekon ?
