Very nice shane, lookin well, could use a lowering maybe. Wheels look the business, great buy.

Ahh good man, you got some motorsports! Set of springs now I take it, then just enjoy it!

 

[318 IS Cosmos]

Id love to lower it a bit more but i live beside pretty nasty ramps so id be afraid of catching the wheels and front bumper...Also i just bought a brand new set of PS2's for the rear so i need to stop spending money!

have you gotten the swipe card for the staff carpark door in work yet shane?

i used to have one (didnt have my name on it mind you)

I say lower it, an Eibach pro kit will give it a nice subtle drop. I go over those ramps quite a bit and they're fine. Sure i had the E36 with coilovers go over them fine. Just gotta go slowly. I say do it

Car looks great btw!

Car looks great but it really needs to be lowered.

+1 really does need a drop to do it justice.

Very nicely modded imo.

 

[neilthefunkeehomosapien]

Yeah looks well man.. Some very nice work done there!!

 

[318 IS Cosmos]

Hmmmm im unsure now as to dropping her...when the car is parked on level ground it doesnt look as bad...the front needs a drop but i can see rubbing issues if the rear is lowered...i had 3 people in the back last night and it was rubbing! So suggestions please i was thinking of putting a eibach pro kit on her but this will definately cause rubbing no?

Unfortunately it will. The rear arches on my E36 were rolled to clear the wider rears. Never once had an issue with clearance then, full tank, full boot (suitcases) and 4 up.

 

[Phil_318is]

Same here, i put 245's on the back of mine, if you sort out the arches then theres no problem.

Be worth it, providing your keeping it for the next while.

 

[Devaney]

Ive mine lowered. Its a black E36 so it will be a good comparsion to yours if ya want to see it. Mind you, I do have to think about ramps and undergrounds now

Very true. I need to use a multi storey car park everyday for college so could be an issue!

 

[Devaney]

Multistories are ok, ive no issues in Blanch or Dundrum. However i have a grieveance with the Ramp outside the front door of Liffey Valley and a few around Maynooth other than that, its just fine a little slower and you should be fine.
