        e30s are like fat girls that USED to be hot, you just gotta work them out to make them hot again.

              And the spoiler, lip and pods all went with the car when sold. I was talking about functional things, like diff, 13 obc, power sunroof, seats, suspension etc.

              And the aluminum spare for the e46 that you speak of is actually only 3.5"/4" wide. These are steel.

                  You cannot go too low with the Bilsteins or else you will be ridding on the bump stops. The Bilstein struts use internal bump stops, and don't allow for very much travel when you are running very low.
