of an IS lip, im running races on 195/60/14"

I feel like im gonna whack a dip on the freeway and lose it.

Depends on how low you are.

Only thing that gets me are driveways.

[ohthejosh]

Do you respect potholes and speedbumps?

[camip]

I was wondering this too because I'd rather lose some Volvo lips.

Drill it to your valence and you should be (mostly) golden.

Go IS. The worst you will have to do is get it repainted. On my first e30 I destroyed it on curbs, speed bumps, etc. I even ran over it twice-never broke.

My car has had the same lip and splitter since 2004.

My zinno e30 still has the iS lip that I put on when I first bought it. Only a small scratch.

My schwarz e30 lost 1 iS lip driving in a really bad storm hitting a pothole but that was completely my fault due to not buying new clips. The one on it now has new clips and is going strong.

Don't get a volvo lip they look like shit. The iS lip isin't even expensive. Seriously don't be a cheapass, do you want your car to look like eurotrash or a classy vintage bmw? The iS lip is the single upgrade to an e30 as far as looks go, it's not expensive for what it is.

Watch where you drive and how you drive. Mine sits around 2 inchs from the ground and it only scrapes leaving parking lots. Your oil pan will stop the car before the lip i believe :)

I've had mine since 2007, 3" clearance and still looks new.

[88SuperETABD]

I've had mine for over a year of DD'ing and I have 2.5" clearance... How soft is your suspension? and how low? I'm on GC's so I dont travel that much, like said above, respect driveways, and worst thing you'll have to do is hop out and take it out from under your car. It's never hit during normal driving, only driveways have scraped it along with exhaust

Mine lasted three days. My driveway rips them off. Mine was loose and then came off on the freeway, got run over by dozens of cars and pretty wrecked then I recovered it and it's been in my trunk for a year. Lol
