well my car will have nice wheels, stock 89 bumpers, brand new paint, but nothing shaved or anything like that garbage. it will be more euro-styled, but i like to think tastefully. im not getting bags to lay frame, im getting them so i dont have to worry about screwing up the paint or bumpers around tallahassee cuz the roads and driveways suck really bad down here.

Mine is dropped quite a bit and is very easy to drive in all sorts of conditions. Unless you're off roading it, you'll be fine with normal suspension.
I wouldn't do airbags because of the huge increase in sprung and unsprung weight, the lack of ability to really play with spring rate, and the complexity of the system. How much does it cost? I'm guessing that with parts and labor cost of an airbag system, you could afford a proper setup that provides both a custom drop and good handling.

He had bags on his cabrio, among many other distasteful things.

so andre's e30 wasnt low enough to scrape the bumpers on steep driveways? i find that hard to believe, but then again, yall know more than me. the cost of the airbags will be really cheap because my buddy would be doing it for me, so it would be cheaper than the cost of a good spring set-up. i wasnt planning on getting a huge compressor or a loud one, so that would probably be the most expensive part. if i dont do airbags then ill get some KW v2's most likely.

My car is as low / lower then Andre's was. For the record, Andre's car wasn't ever REALLY low. He just ran grossly underside stretched tires.

For what its worth stock tire size is 195/65R14. It has a overall hieght of 24in.
Andre was running 215/40R16 on a 16x9. On a 16x7 wheel, 215/40R16 is 22.8in tall. Stretched onto a 16x9 wheel... I'd say 20.8-21in tall.
His wheel/tire combo was at bare minimum, 2 full inches undersize. This is why his car was so "low"

That cabrio had bags? I've seen e30's with hydraulics, but never a bag setup.
If this was a car with a frame, then I'd say go for it and lay frame. Unibody? Uhh yeah lay that out.
Nitrogen > Loudass compressors.
Oh yeah, and your lip/valence/muffler/cat/frame rails/sideskirts/rear apron/steering rack/ball joints/fuel tank/spare tire will all scrape the ground far before your bumper.
