Alright guys ... lets see some SLAMMED e30s

[E30_fiend]

Half question, half observation, I guess. Looks good, bags aren't my thing but you can go lower than me so what do I know? I can't even tuck 17's in the front lol, need to chop dem housins for next year.

Yeah man its incredibly hard to get really low on 17s unless you have an early car. I was on sectioned housings and IX Bilsteins up front. I got the front end pretty dialed in. It looked great but the practicality went out the window. Speedbumps, driveways, potholes etc. Made driving my car not nearly as much fun as I'd like.

In a nutshell, air is practically. I can now drive even lower than I was static but I have the luxury of airing up for entrances and speedbumps. Its really something to consider for the long haul. I don't plan on selling my car. Ever. So I think about the future. Will I want to be dodging potholes at 40yo? Hell no. So, air ride prevailed.

Oh and wheel and tire specs, plox? Not too much stretch in the back, looks good. I don't think I'd be able to tuck that well no matter what suspension I was on.

The wheels are 17x8.5 front and rear. Tires are 205/40 Falken 512. As stated before, I was on coils for a long time and was able to get it dialed in pretty well. But the struggle was having spring rates and dampers that could keep me at the height I wanted without destroying fenders, tires, wheels or paint. I opted for that. Now I don't really have to worry about any of that.

Drive low, park lower.

Yes, and?

I had a 7 year run slammed on coils. It was time for a change.

How do you like them? I'll never go back haha. I think it's the best thing I've done to my car.

I love them. Ill likely switch up my setup in the near future but I love it as it is.

I do like coils still but the practicality of air is incredible.

i second this.

Sorry, what were you guys saying? I removed the GC rear adjuster and lowered the front to match it.

I even have the early model valance and lip on and still have trouble with clearance. Late model valance with the iS lip makes H&R race springs look slammed.
It is easy to appear slammed with lower rear arches. And slammed lower arches makes you look bagged.

Tucking 215/45/17 and 235/40/17


Lack of camber is due to toe and camber correction weld in eccentric kit.

Fear at that height does your sway bar make a difference ? Have you tried running with out and see if it negatively affects the ride.

[F34R]

I unhook the rear links in SCCA, I did not really see too much gain as I do not have much body roll. I just got done talking to Mark from GC. ordering 4" springs tomorrow as I have 5" in the rear right now. Getting the back down more asap.

[E30_fiend]

Gah, cabby's are so easy to slam! Fenders and rockers working in your favor.

That white vert looks ffantastic. And that's saying a lot because I don't like RS's or cabbies lol.

F34R,


I have early arches too ;)

[KnappChicago]

15x8 all the way down on racelands, one of the adjuster nuts taken out in front AND 1 coil off the spring.

[Shangsta]

^that my friend is far from slammed...

[noE30]

Why doesn't anyone post fender to ground measurements if its going to be a who's lowest contest? Haha
