Drop Hats.....

[iamsam]

i totally see a very noticeable ride height difference in both posts. Non-enthusiasts and women and gay men will never see a difference, however...

and BTW, to the OP, AWESOME!!!! i am so happy. finally, some affordable drop hats. I am calling the dealership tomorrow first thing.

The mtech valence is in terrible shape, its been all hacked up to go on a db car. the zender is in very good shape and i have a few other zender pieces in the works, should turn out nice. And its not like the mtech went anywhere, can put it back on anytime.

Mac,
Did you get that M-Tech I valence from the Lumbra's?

Just stick to oem or BMW original parts!!

Honestly I see no difference in the before and after shots in this thread. It's like a waffleswaffleswaffleswaffles hair difference. Doesn't seem like it's worth the money or time to take the front suspension apart for a 0.39" drop.

Just sayin.

seriously

You're right. But .59" is way worth it.

Why don't you complain about your finger some more so we can feel bad for you and buy your drop hats.

Yes, its that one. its been around the block

HA! Nice. I sold that to Evan in like 2004. It came over from the UK... I'm guessing they hacked it to fit plastic bumpers or something.

Very noticeable my ass, if you stare at the pictures long enough you can see a barely noticeable difference. If you glance at them, they look identical. I'm not pulling the entire front suspension apart for something 99% of the population won't even notice.

Like euro trim, euro grilles... its the little things that add up to your personal e30. this is a small mod but a cheap one. if you already have lowering springs odds are you dont need to compress them to take apart the front suspension. doesnt take long at all to install, leave the struts in the car.

True, I'd know it was lower, but if it's something I can barely even notice, then meh. Euro grills are a pretty obvious difference, really. Especially compared to a .25" drop. ;)

To each his own, though.

Dude. 99% of the population can't tell the difference between an E30 and an E36 of the same color.

the local dealer here wants $19.xx for each hat. They are $11 each at bavauto. I wonder however, since its special order from BavAuto, that the shipping will be outrageous...

EDIT: Ordered from BavAuto! $29.xx total!! will post pics of before/after.

A. I totally agree with your point.
B. I would hate to see anyone hurt themselves trying to remove/replace front springs w/out a proper spring compressor.

Beat me to it! Besides, if i was modding my car for approval of 99% of the poulation... Id go buy an e90.

Im also going to have to buy some of these- sorry Rich.

[E30Nova]

Not that I'm modding my car for everyone else, just saying that the majority of people can't even see the difference. My friend with a slammed GTi says he can't even tell a difference, and you know vdubbers love their shits low, lol.
