Guest SamSpargo Report post Posted December 2, 2008 So, I know there are a couple of bagged wagons rolling (scrapping?) around Auckland, but has anyone actually got the 411 on putting bags on an E30? Keep the hate out please, as I'm not looking for "3 wheeling is awesome yo!" type answers. This is a prime example of what I wish to achieve: http://www.s10forum.com/forum/f3/lowrider-...-3-18is-372685/ http://www.lowriderdepot.com/BMW318.html Who are the best in NZ? Chris, I imagine you've got some answers for me? The rear would be easy as hell to do, but the front would require some pretty trick work. Thoughts?

ED1RTY 2 Report post Posted December 4, 2008 (edited) elite customs. Done all the work on a few of my mates mini trucks. A+ Fabrication skills, sell quality gear, know their sh*t and prices are pretty good to. If you show them the money they will sort you out well, they don't take a liking to time wasters etc so don't be offended if they are blunt when you ask for a quote. From memory they quoted me for the E30 6200 for a full 1/2" setup + 1500 for an engine driven compressor, thats drive in drive out all certed and sorted. P.S front struts not that hard at all. Same principle as coilover kit except the spring perches and springs are replaced with airbags I reckon it would be sick with some epic camber tops. max it out for ultra front slammage Edited December 4, 2008 by ED1RTY Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest SamSpargo Report post Posted December 4, 2008 Yea the idea to to lay frame, not 3 wheel everywhere, hence bags over cylinders. 6200 is about right for what I've researched. Any idea how much pressure the bags can hold Chris? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest SamSpargo Report post Posted December 4, 2008 Perhaps definitely on an E30... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ED1RTY 2 Report post Posted December 4, 2008 Depends what bags you use, if you go truck bags around 140-180 psi but you would need the meke valves and lines also. Lay frame would = chassis work. Lots of chassis work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest SamSpargo Report post Posted December 4, 2008 homo Haha. Once fully dialed in, they're as good as coilovers with the added bonus of adjustability. It's kind of win win, dude. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
323e30 0 Report post Posted December 4, 2008 order the kit from australia and get it fitted by a qualified mechanic here. the kit itself is only around the 1600$ mark from memory . www.probag.co.au from memory or www.airbagit.com was quoted 1600$nzd for a kit for a 64 impala. not sure what fitting would cost but i think alot could be done your self, wiring and running airlines etc, only welding (if needed) and cert need to be done by a pro. kits are pre-made plug and play generally.

Forrest 35 Report post Posted December 5, 2008 Personally, I appreciate your desire to create something truely unique, I just think from a cost benefit perspective being the economist i am, lol coilovers/uprated suspension would be a better route to take in my opinion. Best of luck with the project, it is true, nice to see someone step away from the stereotype modifications Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
