Satin: Update

[Jonny Cash]

Such fucking snobs here. "ruining an e30! omg!" That is a bit over the top but I bet most of us, including me, would break our necks looking at it if we saw it rolling down the street. Props! Although you could clean the rest of it up a bit.

props for what. Chopping up his suspension and making it dangerous for everyone around him?

He likes the criticizm though. Thats exactly why he did it. Just so he could come on here and show his local frinds saying- yay look at me im a retard. Ok, we get it. Now go fix your exhaust, we swear we wont tell anyone.

i feel like ive seen e30s that low and they looked right. i feel like that high of an offset is why im not feeling this. i think some 16in low offsets would be a huge improvements. and your exaust seriously needs help. thats just hood. all and all i dont hate just not my taste. if it was an explorer or somthing i might be for it.

I agree, 15's probably would be ok and pull the fenders so you could run higher offests if it was just a hair higher so you could see all of the wheel, maybe some sort of skid plate to cover all moving parts ie exhaust diff and oil pan. i kinda like it, not for me tho.

Yup, just a punk kid who loves any attention since he can't get daddies...

Props for getting it/driving it that low and making his otherwise bland e30 quite interesting to look at. Yea it is for attention and if you haven't figured it out by now that's what the whole stance thing is about. I'm sure he's well aware of the fact that spirited driving is out the window and that he could be much more comfortable...but that wasn't the goal...

I'll be the first to call fake. Looks like the car has no springs in it. Probably a WIP, parts car or they broke.

it's a drivable car, I've seen it myself.


as for the dude who asked about my struts, glad you have shortened struts, and on mine, the housings are shortened 2-1/4" on mine and I'm running MR2 struts.

as for the people who are playing the "it won't handle well" or "you ruined your geometry" card, I know this car is driven granny style, so it doesn't really make a difference.

for those saying the lip of your car scrapes, that doesn't make your car low, that's cheating.

How about we don't start this... This isn't Vortex. Shit, even the SW guys don't get into this crap. Not everyone likes super-low cars. If you're going to post pics of your car on a public forum with modifications like this, be prepared for the onslaught of shit you're going to catch.

How can you say you have travel up front? Just because there may be room for the suspension to compress doesn't mean the body of the car will allow it. You should be bottoming out on the inner fender pinch weld at that height.

And what are you running for rear shocks?

If this thread can't stay civil, I'm going to just lock it and trash it.

The people who are going on about him "ruining" the car, get over yourselves. This isn't a fucking 60's-era Ferrari, it's a damn E30.

Don't like it? Fine, say so. But lay off of the "this looks like shit, you're an idiot, I bet it drives like shit" garbage. Especially coming from half of the people saying it, your cars aren't much more to look at.

[dnova89]

I wouldn't be surprised if him and I were the only ones on here with shorter than stock struts.

I'm just gonna stop reading the thread now, this made me lol.

Edit: I actually wanna see it with lower offset smaller wheels and maybe flares.

And it's not like VW car guys are the only people who get their cars this low??? The JDM people do it all day every day

The jdm people do it in a different way, though. I think with smaller wheels it would look more correct?

Oh fuck yeah, I think from now on "the Girlfriend/wife rule" should apply to cars.

Gonna talk shit, post up what ya got!

Well, quite a bit of material has been removed from the wheel well. I could hit a bump as fast as i want and not bottom out. Im sure grinding the pinch seam down is gonna make my car fall apart too
