Looks outstanding as is, but another 3/4" drop in the front would look absolutely perfect in my opinion.

Awesome job though, I'd love to have something like that.

3mm in the front already to clear the struts, 5mm in the rear for the fitment. I'm happy with the way it sits.

I actually went down 3/4 of an inch today, looks pretty good, I don't like the rake look, but I can't go any lower in the back because of the rubbing, so this is where it stays.

What do you think? Not a big difference but I can tell.

actually had an iS lip on it, but it was too low and would probably get ripped off, so I swapped it for an i lip from a guy at work.

Something is just slightly off. I think it's the fact that there's a lot more fender clearance in the front than the rear. I don't know what the camber situation is, but maybe a degree less camber in the front would close a little bit of that up.

I'm splitting hairs though. Car looks sikasphuk

later model E30's had lower fender arches in the back, so that's why the rear looks lower. Plus my front struts are almost maxed out, I have about 2" of travel so I don't know how much lower I could go. Plus the skidplate doesn't help with clearance either.

Got it aligned today, before the front camber was about 3* and they got it to -1.5*, I kind of liked it better with more camber.

Here's a PS pic someone did on r3vlimited, lowered it, euro plate filler in the back, all red tails, euro trim.
