            I think it would look better with a lip, otherwise it looks great.

                  Thanks for the kind words everyone! I really tried hard to keep the car simple, effective, and drivable. The a/c even blows ice cold with r134! And since I adjusted the shocks to a soft setting, the car rides great and still handles well at a decent ride height. All the maintenance is up to date, I am probably going to do a mild engine build on a separate engine so if this one let's go, I'll be ready.

                  I had originally intended to put an is lip on it, but this is my fifth I lip, so I can only imagine how fast the is lip would go away...

                    I think the height and stance is perfect. It's simple, clean, all e30. Love it

                          How big are the actual lips on the front & rear wheels? 2.5" or 3"?

                            Fronts are 1.5" and rears are 2". I almost think I should have went with 2 all around since the camber is almost the same all the way around and the fronts are in just a hair too much.

                              I'm surprised that the fronts are only 1.5" I was thinking you had either a 2" & 2.5" or a 2.5" & 3" setup going on.
