Drop and a iS lip.. 92 325ic

[JasonC]

Thought I'd post up a few pictures of my vert. It's nothing special, but I do love it. After 4 years of ownership I finally did what I said I wasn't going to do when I first got it. I dropped it a little in April and put wheels on it in July. The drop is Bavauto springs with Bilstein shocks. Wheels are MST MT05 15x8 et20 with 205/55/15 tires. The ride is a little more firm then what I read about the springs from other peoples comments. But did come across a Bavauto employee saying they did stiffen them up compared to their past springs they offered. Still running the 4.10 gears in it with the 5 speed swap. Been debating on 3.73 gears though.. I did the typical mods, euro trim, iS lip with splitter, rear plate filler, euro grills, smoked turn signal lens, Smoked Smilies.. You know, usual stuff that was done 10 years ago lol!

Looks fantastic!

How come you went with 205s on 8 inch wheels? Just curious because I have 205/45s on 16"x7" wheels, and I find myself wishing for 8" wide wheels. How's the fitment with the 8" wides?

Looks really good, Jason.

I think a "good" 205 will be pretty straight on an 8" wheel.

Also with that offset, anything wider will probably need a roll

Its come a long way. Nice work Jason

Here's how 205s fit on my 7" wide wheels. Personally, I'd go for 235 or something in that neighborhood if I had 8" wheels

It's the et20 offset that will make going wider harder on Jason's car.

Thanks, and after researching on what size tire to get for this wheel size/offset the 205 seamed like the way to go. Plus there isn't much room between the strut and wheel/tire.

Ohhh I see, so any wider would give fender rub?

Super clean! I'm still debating on going with either the US and Euro plate filler. I'm leaning with the US one though.

Looks great!

Very nice. Fall foliage in Pa.

Thanks, although to see the paint in person, it is shot. And I'd lean toward a US filler. They give a more finished look.

Looks great!

Thank you, fall is very nice in this region.

Looking great! Love the red/black combo.

That looks really nice! Makes me miss my old vert...

Simply stunning... I may have to opt for a similar setup on my red vert. I'm also lowered and on similar wheels. Still rocking a stock lip!
