                So I know the wheel arches sit a bit higher in the front of these vehicles, but when lowering them, is there anything special you need to do to get the front any lower? I've noticed on a few of these bagged cars, the front wheel/tires don't even come close to tucking. I had a Mk4 on bags, (Oh no, not a VW douche) and to get the front to sit low, you had to notch the frame and all sorts of goodness. Is that something I'll have to look forward to doing on the e30?

                  Nope. No frame notching or anything similar is needed that I'm aware of anyways.

                    Yeah you lay pinch welds before you even come close to topping out inside the arches in front.

                      ^^ Depends on what size wheel you're running..

                      On 17's I tucked wheel/tire before I laid frame.



                      16's I laid frame before I tucked.

                        Fender restrictions aren't the same as needing to notch the frame though

                            Keen to see some more trunk setups, always interesting seeing how people go about setting theirs up.

                            Here is some recent shots of mine:

                                What size tires are you running ^^ have you trimmed that ridge pinch join whatever it's called inside the front wheel wells?

                                Mine sits no where near that low, but sits on the tires so can't get lower lol (I run 17's though which makes it a little tougher)

                                Looks good man!!
