    In essence all exterior mods (track cars excluded) are to make your car stand out.

    I'll swap it out for something else later on.
    My buddy had a a barbie doll tied to a shoe sting hanging out the back hatch of his e34 touring for a day, kind of to make fun of all the JDM cars with little teddy bears and stuff, it was hilarious.

      Your stance would be improved by 10 fold if you did a 5mm spacer in the front, and a 10mm out back, maybe 10mm all the way around. Looks great, though.

        Looks awesome, you do need a lip though, then again so do I.

        Also, there are lots of people driving lower cars than that, especially vw people.
        I don't think I've done anything worth mentioning really. Maybe the GCs. But otherwise it's a stock, slow, fairly shiny 22 year old car.

        I do need a lip, I believe I have one lined up I'm just patiently waiting. It's no biggy.

        And yes, lower I want.

          I've been thinking about it.

          I've been thinking about 205/50/15s and then buying shorter springs and going about .5 inches to 1 inch lower.

          OR I could keep same tires and space out.

          Or I could do both. I really don't know what I can get away with...

          I'm currently leaning towards going lower and just tucking them.

          input?

              I think your ride height is fine, just need a little more width in the stance. Good offset is key. :up:

                I'm not sure yet... I think I'll try 205/50/15s and then going lower.

                I'll see about spacers after that. I appreciate the advice... 10mm and 5mm I'll remember that.

                      Turf, Its a joke. I have a tiger striped towhook in my trunk. Not a big deal. IF his car were 4x4in autotragic, i'd agree more.

                      Although, its kinda a big fuckin' NOS bottle.

                      Looks good otherwise

                        I like your car - I just hate that you've attached litter to it in an effort to get attention.
                        isn't that why we hook up old shitty looking e30's anyway :D
                        to have something on the road that you don't see everyday and is a blast to drive

                        car looks good man

                              Thanks. I might go lower some time, but as it is now, its low enough to scrape every once in a while as is.

                                Looks nice. Love the stance, and spacers would definitely help out. I'd avoid the 205/50/15s though, at least from a looks standpoint. Even though the car will be lower, the tires look undersized and don't fill out the wells very well. Or at least they don't on my car, and I'm also on GCs at about that height. I only scrape my lip :)
