welcome to caly land - only way to fly!

wow. amazing what lowering plus style 5s does to the look. seems like 25 adapters is just a bit too much for the rear, and agree with ChubbyChowder 18s on the front makes sense.

I picked up some euroweaves billies and eibach's for mine, but not installed yet so it's still got the grandpa ride height. Now you've got me wondering about 16s..



what's the scoop on the interior? seat covers?

Thank you! 16's are definitely a good size in my opinion, no more bigger wheels for me. As far as seats, it did have a leather seat covers all around front and back which I had removed (smelled like the PO's pet) and the car actually came with cloth sport seats upon original purchase (the driver side is ripped a little and the rear top area needs some loving too. Sometime before summer, I will get it re-upholstered and cleaned up.

Give me an update and a picture when you get your suspension done!

Marcosom,

The drop is about 1.7 I believe. These are the 1.5 318is lowering springs from ST.

The drop height looks good on the style 5's. Is there any gap between the wheel wells and tires or are the tires tucked in?

Thanks guys! Yes, only 3 fenders are rolled since the passenger side fender needs to be replaced. As far as driving it, it still rubs on the rear on hard bumps and the fronts would rub a little if I turn the wheel to its limit. The poke on the rear is just a little past flush, I'll snag a picture when I get a chance. The fronts poke out more than half an inch I believe.

Josh,

You're welcome bro! Come to the meet next week and I'll explain it further =)

I installed the 318i 1.3" drop ones on the buddies e30(Swanny). They are AMAZING and feel great. For 70 shipped they are the best deal for the e30 hands down.

And thanks ;)

Hmm...I'm going to look into these.

OP - car looks amazing!

passenger front fender roll is very bad. sorry but the style 5s are titties though. probably gonna steal this setup if i can roll a decent fender roller guy around me.
