how many bagged E30`s here ?

[krisu]

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!!

Hey, thanks man :)

Fronts are 8,5j 195/40/16 federals. And yup had to make clearance inside the wheel arch, i trimmed it.

To make those 8,5j fit, i had to put the camberplates above the shock towers like this

What's the cost of a setup like this generally? Want to bag my e30 sometime soon

Please tell me that isn't what it looks like. Please tell me the weight of the front end isn't hanging on three bolts.

It is not hanging on the three bolts. I have machined a circle plate under the shock tower which the bolts go into. Tried to demonstrate it with my uber paint skills ;)


I have one picture of the plates here(the middle ones).

It depends pretty much on what management you decide to take. My setup is bag over coil, which means i already had BC racing coilovers. I bought the bags and the management. Im running this touring with autopilot v2 management, i like it very much.

Management and bags costed around 2000 euros and the bc racing extreme drop coils costed 900euros, so overall it is not much cheaper than the full air ride kit with struts. :D

I'm not a mechanical engineer, but I really hope you did your homework on choosing hardware.

That plate should keep the bolt heads from pulling through the shock tower, but that is still an incredible amount of load to put on three m10 bolts at each corner. I can't imagine any bolt of that size is rated for that type of load.
