Evolution of an early model E30

[elguapo84]

Got some new pics...now with exhaust and c3motorsport coilovers. I've got room for an extra half-inch drop, but my driveway will not accept another sixteenth of an inch. I'm posting pics from before and after the drop, as well as some pics from the diving board days (pre m-tech 1)

After Drop

Groundscrapingly close

Now look how close to the ground it is when parking in my garage. We eyeballed it when we were adjusting the ride height, and got lucky.

Looks SOOO much better with that drop man.. You should be able to just link to those images.

Thanks man...maybe a moderator can edit the post so that the pics are displayed. I'm confused as to how to do it.

before and after pics are the same for me

Trust me...they're different. Focus on the fender gap. You'll see the difference. I intentionally took the pics at similar angles for sake of comparison.

Konig Remembers (a BBS RS replica) 16x7, 25mm offset, 4x100. Perfect fitment.

sweet, don't like the license plate location though... looks kinda tacky.

I don't like it either, but it's more visible that way, and I haven't been pulled over since it's been up there. At least it's better than mounting it over or underneath the euro plate.

I know they match the euro bumpers and all, but PLEASE shadowline it... PLEASE. lol. Otherwise, drop really sets it off well!

will shadowline if I decide to tint windows...I need serious persuasion to do that though. It's definitely low priority when it comes to allocating car-related funds.
