    I saw this pop up on craigs not too long ago. I think lowering that car would defeat the purpose of the iX. I'd love to have an awd e30 for storms like the ones we've had almost every week this season. I say tackle all of the maintenance and make it a reliable daily, then find a 325i or iS to mod. I'm liking those wheels though, weigh your options out here. Those iX 5spd coupes are definitely becoming harder to come across.
    Lol 14 e30s later..

      I am trying on the IX what I already have, doesn't mean I will use it. It does look good those wheels. ;)
      Drive it like you just stole it! :p

        Well, I guess I am going with these wheels. I have the H&R sport springs just waiting on the sport Konis. As the weather gets better I will be working more on the car!



        Looks like the IX is going to take off! :D

              VWvortex on the MK2 section, just search for RML 15x8 snowflakes

              I know! I got the H&R but those Konis will be getting here by month end! :(

              Washed her up a bit!





              Sorry for so many pics, but I love this thing! :puppy:

                The wheels look pretty decent on there, but it's just weird to me because I know they are VW wheels. I wouldn't mind having a set for my Rabbit though.

                  I sold my GLI and I was having emotional issues letting them go with the GLI, so I kept them, they are special edition by RML wheels 15x8 et30 and they are very desirable within the VW scene.

                    Tires are way too small.

                        So, I got these today! What should I do? I also need counseling, can't stop buying things fro the IX!



                        I also lowered it a bit in the front. Got these spring hight adjusters. Don't look like much but made a difference!

                          You are going to have a hard time lowering that IX. Talk to Nando for help

                              Small update!
                              Changed the front bumper, still need to adjust the gaps but overall looks better!







                              This weekend I will do the rear. Still waiting on the bodyshop to clear some room for the IX! :-(

                                most of your pics are gone. And your car looks like a skateboard.
