    Pics of my newly dropped e30 with some aplina kopi's.

    I just installed an H&R Cup Kit and some Alpina Kopi's et20 wrapped in 215/40/17 Yoko Parada Spec II's. Im really happy with the way it turned out. The improved handling and control at speeds over 100mph is unbelievable compaired to stock, not to mention how damn good it looks. I ended up rolling my fenders to reduce rubbing, but im still rubbing a bit deep with in the fender. Excuse the diver side's corner panels trim. Ran into a bit of trouble at the end of the install and it ended up poping off some how.( Its a long scary story that maybe Ill tell some other time)

    Here are some pics:

    The lowering job looks great, and those rims are BIG but they look good.

      Looks awesome! Got spring pads out back? Looks so low still!

      Missing a trim piece on that fender? 8)

      I am still unsure whether to go Cup Kit or not. Especially when I will be rolling on my bottlecaps with it for a while!

          Looks good. I used to love the Kopi Alpinas, but I feel they are "played out" now. Far too many people have them.

            Yea, the pics kidna make the wheels apear bigger then they actually are. I guess you just have to see it in person.

            Is there anything I can do to raise the back up just an maybe a half an inch or so? That would help with the rubbing a lot, although its not too bad if no one else is in the car with me.

              Car looks great.

              I was all over the kopis at first, but the size kinda got me in the end. 17 is just big for my personal taste.

                Yea, I agree, but it was the best I could do with the amount of cash I had on hand. I figure this will just be a temp rim untill I can get some real bbs's or somethin.

                  Rubbing? Roll them fenders a little bit.......
                  and try some thicker spring pads to bring it up.

                  Kopis are tight. One of my favs.

                        Thanks for all the compliments.

                        Yea, I think imma try and get some thicker pad springs. That seems like itll lift my rear end just enough that the rubbing will be as close to gone when I floor it.

                            It looks pretty damn good.

                            The lower rear fender arches always make a slammed car look like it's sagging in the rear:
