When it came down to it,
- The e30s oil pan sits way to low, no way I was going to risk cracking a pan each time I drove this thing static (respect for all those who do!)
- Unless your getting Racelands or JOM coils others would require cutting and welding just as bags would, so why not?
- GC coils aren't cheap so if im going to dish out the cash I might as well get something I really want.
- I always wanted to run Air Ride on a vehicle, just couldn't decide which so I just said F$&k it ill bag the e30.
- The list goes on but lastly.......... I just love to do shit people don't approve of. If I think its cool and worth it then ill go ahead and pursue it.
I believe its all about preference, you had your reasons for choosing coilovers so i'm sure you made the best choice.

Originally posted by Hella_RICHProgress is pretty slow. Ive been busy with preparing and taking finals.
Basically at the moment the front and rear bags are mocked up. The current situation is how the vehicle will sit once aired out. The rear sits a tad bit lower than the front, resulting in reverse rake. Because of this, I need to get tires mounted so I can bolt up the wheels and make sure I don't get reverse rack when pancaked. Nothing is welded yet so their is room for alterations. Tires for my wheel set up are pretty hard to come by for reasons I don't understand. So, its taking a while for them to arrive. That statement does not, by any means hint that I will be running 9-10 inch wheels lol. Aside from that I'm still in the progress of refinishing said wheels. Kinda want to keep it a secret. However, once seen it wont be a surprise. I'm sure a lot of people can guess what wheels I went with or more so what brand.

If you dont mind me asking what profile tires are you planning on running? its lookin pretty nasty in the picture with rear tuck and dont worry dude, lots of other people here on S|W are going through finals as well so dont rush the job, it gets done when its done.
Lol thanks, and those are beefy tires being tucked. As for tires I'm going with 195/40s all around on a non staggered set. All wheels are 8 inches wide so hopefully this will give me a decent stretch. I'm positive ill need to get spacers and roll some fenders in the future.Last edited by Hella_RICH; 06-18-2013, 11:23 AM.
