    skid pad for my 91 318is?

    is it worth getting? because 200 is pretty steep in my pockets when I'm already spending 1g's on bushing/h&r kit.

          ehhh not sure they go as low as a set of good coils... I personally dont know. I have never used them. maybe someone who has will chime in.

          Bottom line tho, theres no need to waste money on a skid plate unless you take parking lot speed bumps at an angle in order to prevent scraping or you avoid changing lanes on the freeway due to those reflective bumpy things...

                  I have H&R race on my 318is and I highly recommend running Ejnights skid plate on ANY lowering springs due to how low the M42 oil pan sits. If you lower it and don't get a skid plate you may as well get a new oil pan/pickup now.

                              I scrape the bottom of my stock height subaru all the time. I'm super paranoid about the bimmer. I'll have to see what the e30m30 looks like for clearance.

                              I already have a jb weld patch on my m20 pan from a previous incident.
