skid pad

[greekfreak]

i wana lower my e30 but im worried about breaking an oil pan what do you guys know about skid pads?

Skid pads are fun, but if you drive on them too much, you'll kill your outside front tire. They're flat though, so I don't know how think you're gonna break an oil pan.... Are you talking about skid plates?

^ lol, straight answer is a guy on here ej knight makes skid plates if thats what you want. You won't need one unless you cut springs or go coilover. Just buy a set of Sport springs and you won't need a skid plate.

I wouldn't say that. Sport springs+ blown oe shocks= busted oil pan.

A skid plate is good insurance against a busted oil pan.

or race springs plus shitty roads/raised manhole covers/retarded speed bumps could all break the oil pan.

how low are you OP?

This is probably a good rule of thumb, but it is definatly no guarantee. I have bav auto springs on my car and i would not consider it very low, but i still scrape my pan from time to time. If you have the money it would be good peace of mind at the least.

my 318is needs a skid plate badly.

I was gonna say, if it has an m42 and lowering springs I would defintely get a skid plate.
