      Japan, Hong Kong, and Malaysia can be added to that list as well.

        Hey Andre....

        If you are doing this for show and to try and see how low you can go why not put air bags on the car? You could drop it WAY down when you want and raise it up to get a better drive on the bad roads in NY. I bet it would actually even help your handling a little.

        Just curious

          well i still preffer to have handling, with the KW coilovers (which are one of the best for our cars), much better then GC's i can still have some kind of handling. The Air ride is def. nice but they dont make it for our cars (yet). I would only put the German Air ride which would of course have to be TUV approved, the american air ride i would never ever put on my car, and on top of that im sure if would be a biatch to make it work properly

            Didn't figure they made a kit for it. Most of the stuff I've dealt with is for VERY old cars and therefore custom fit.

              I dont see airbagging an e30 as being all that difficult. Youd just have to get air struts that fit, or customize some to fit.

              For the rear it would be cake.

              Sold it.

                But in order for them to be on Andre's car, they'd have to be 'euro-spec' airbags.

                  ya, Andre would have to use luftbeutels instead of air bags.

                      Just wondering how you came to the conclusion that KW coils are better than GC? I dont see that big of a difference. GC is infinitely customizable (not a real word). Custome made struts, revalved shocks, any spring rate under the sun...

                      Just wondeirng.

                        I have GCs and I had H&R coilovers on my rabbit, so I think the point Andre is trying to make is that the Konis offer more support because they are a real coilover with the shock built in. However, GCs are broken down into pieces and do not handle corners and turns as well as a real coilover. If my car ever got airborne, I wonder if I would ever lose the springs because there isn't anything holding them in place once your car is off the ground.

                          How about you stop making it sound like all they do in germany is put stretched tires on wide rims, because it's not. 500,000 people in germany don't drive around like that. You make it sound like you're mr. german styling when all you do is one little option of *some* european styling. The majority of e30's in germany are meant to be driven.





                          Even this guys wheels don't stick out as far and look as stupid as yours


                          And look at this guy, he's running stretched tires, but atleast they dont have an undersized diameter.

                          well i still preffer to have handling
                          No you don't. You're full of shit. If you wanted to be able to handle or have a driver's car, you wouldn't be running your stupid wheels and tires.

                              wow your such a fucking IDIOT man, obviously your car (which im dying to see) is by far the hottest E30 around here :roll: i imagine your running 285's on a 8" wide wheel so you can grip better. And btw not everyone in germnay has my set-up (streched rubber) ppl that have it that way are in a "EXTREME" class but what would you know about that your just a stupid little fool who dones know jack shit about syling. so do yourself a favour and STFU


                              o and BTW you stupid tool this guy has 16X9 215/40 front and 16X!0 225/40 rear Steffen wheels, which im sure you never heard of MORON

                                uuhh, I think if you get your car airborne you're going to have a lot more to worry about than what your springs are doing! :shock:

                                I think I decided that I liked the borbets better.. dunno, they just had so much more dish. I still think the new ones are pretty cool though
