      I like the two options on the right. Deep-dish and chrome is awesome.

      As much as this car is clean and looks wonderful, I am not really a fan of the airbag/dropped look for anything other than shows. I get that it looks cool, and it does look awesome parked, but I would much rather have drivability and durability.

        I'm with you a bit on that. I like it at least a little dropped but when your bagged it pretty much has to always be aired out when not in use. At least for periods of time when its sitting long. Small store runs, etc it stays raised. I pretty much only slam it overnigth or when it know it's gonna sit a long time.

        Drivability and durability isn't a sacrifice thought. As long as it's installed correctly the bags in many cases will outlast the car itself. And the ride is amazing, I've driven it on some long rides and so far the comfort is awesome.

          Interesting. I have never ridden in a bagged E30 so I have no idea what the ride is like. What is it like under hard cornering conditions?

          What does it rest on when it's bagged out? Are there some kind of pads or rubber for it to rest on or does the exhaust and oil pan take the weight?

            Your car looks great, I wish mine was red. Anyways, out of those wheels I would get the top left.

            You really don't have to air out the bags when you park the car overnight or for long periods of time. I haven't driven my bagged e30 in over a week and I left it at driving height and its still at driving height.

              I heard that the pressure messes it up, not sure then. I've just done it overnight because that's what I was told. But hey if I don't have to, that's cool. Lol

                It feels like a luxury car, lol. No lie.

                Driving and handling is not affected, I still take corners hard and if I'm not mistaken these kits are made for "street,race,show" so you can used and abuse them. So long as it's installed correctly and there isn't any moving or extremely hot parts near important pieces of your installation that can cause accidents then you are good.

                Sits on oil pan.

                    Those are so far my top choice. Fully polished, cant go wrong.
                    Thank you.

                      Put the front spoiler and splitter on today. Just need those Hella high beam covers and the front end is set.

                          I've always loved the high beam cover look so I had to get some. This will most likely be the last thing I do to the car over the next few weeks. Gotta save up some cash for my wheels. Lol

                            Car looks nice Lue! Clean.

                            I never got the point of those Hella covers.

                            Can someone explain?

                              Thank you. I'll be taking her out after a good detail to take some nice shots.

                              They are used as shields to protect the lens. At least in 4x4 type vehicles with lots of additional lights. Here, just for kicks. Lol. Just always thought they looked kinda cool on these cars.

                                Curious why this car has comfort seats in it if it's an is. Super clean ride bro, you're making me jealous.
