    what size are your wheels? from straight on they look small but from the side they look much bigger.

    my headrests sit barely above the bottom of the window seals on mine. (sport seats)



    *if you are sitting that low then you need to do a window chop on the vert and lower the top. then you can drive under rigs and all that :)

    They fit weird and I'd have to stick like washers to get it to fit right, but then I think the hood would rub against them (it looked like it already did slightly). I actually thought they looked decent-or they would if they fit correctly, but that didn't seem possible.

    And I'll see how the fitment looks with spacers before deciding what to do with the rear height. The rim is right below the fender lip, and if they pull it well so it's basically flush and doesn't hit it over bumps then I might keep the pads out just because the fitment will be so perfect.

    Edit: so I can't find the pic that explains what I mean, but I think it was some guy on here with a static e28 whose rear fitment was absolutely perfect and looked bagged.

    My pan's 2" which is about the limit that I'm comfortable to have it dropped. If I had a skid plate it would sit 1" from the pan and be 1/4" thick so it'd be 3/4" off the ground. If I dropped the front more I would need a skid plate for sure. But now if I even only dropped the front like 15mm (drop hats) and got a skid plate, it'd be about 3mm off the ground. If anything I may add the top spring pads in the rear when I get the fenders rolled and pulled-which is basically asap right now because I got a quote for $120 to do it all and all I need are the extended lugs to put the rear 15mm spacers on.

    He's about where I was, I still have at least an inch with the skid plate.
