I have 2 18mm 4x100 - 5x120 adapters from 42 Draft Designs. 18mm is the thinnest available. They are $200 new for a pair but I have them on Craigslist for $180. They have only been mounted for a test fit. Pm me if you're interested

Buy the real one. Don't be a cheapskate with an is-lip. Just ask Abdu about real is-lips and what they can endure.

Thats pretty much the plan, I remember hearing stories about them getting run over and not breaking. Im pretty sure these were the OEM ones

I have Oem is lip from when it was 79 dollars which was only like a year ago and added the splitter. It has been ran over, I have ripped it off from pot holes, etc. and it's still in one piece. Just have a lot of OEM clips that breaks so I just take it off, replace the clips and done. People with the aftermarket cannot say the same. The splitter has also has nothing but rash from the road.

I have had my is lip, for about 9 out of 10 years, of e30 ownership.
All I can tell you is, that I have ran over it at least a dozen times. 1 of those times, was on the 405 at 3:30am,. I circled back around and picked it up with all it's battle wounds but, still survived.
OEM is the way to go, I have an aftermarket one just for kicks but, I think I'm gonna sell it and just buy a new OEM one as a back up soon.

Awesome, thanks guys. Im not worried about running this thing over, but I will get an OEM one just because it seems worth the money.

Which is the smallest brake booster of these?
Suzuki swift
Golf mk2
Renault clio
Audi 1.8t
944
Or is there something smaller? Future engine swap and looking for clearance.

Enlighten the new kid; is this is-lip only found on late models?

[JeLani]

Is that top one a 318? San diego? I saw him at my work once then lol.

So a lip and a splitter are not the same thing... the lip is a lower/vertical extension of the valance.

I had a hard enough time learning that my early model's valance is hidden behind the air dam, whereas the late model's valance is exposed under the bumper. I have that right?

Right. The early air dam completely transformed the front end of early cars while the later model iS lip was just a little extension. It didn't make that big of a difference.

Is that why my 'ES' without the diving board valance still has a valance underneath? Or did my PO decide to take the diving boards and throw on this normal 325/e valance?

In that case i needa hurry up and finish prepping this thing!

Hola.


I live in Culver City, and I'm lurking here and on some E36 forums, shopping for a new daily/track car.


E30 with S50/2 has caught my attention. My brother had an E30 325is back in the day, and I learned how stout they really are when I off-roaded one over a mountain, in NV.

My fear of the E36 interior, which seems as stout as a Jenga game on a cruise ship, as pushed me away from one of my favorite body styles ever. I had wandered over to shopping for an IS300 to mod, and then found these little beauties.

Amazing that the body of the E30 makes it look like a very short car, and yet the WB is in that perfect 100+ spot.

Anyway, hello.
