cheers nas80


i was wondering whether anyone has tried adding another back box on the other side, seen on the 323's and whether it is possible?

Also what is a reasonable amount to lower the car and still be everyday useable??...

And that spoiler i think Jeroen has on his signature car (baur) anyone got one? (wrong place to ask i know Apologies)

I imagine it wouldn't be too hard to hang another back box.

-35 / 45mm would be pretty easy to live with. Any more and speed humps and negative camber will become your friends. Or enemies, depending on your point of view?

my car is lowered 60mm and it's fine 99+% of the time. i just really slow over speed bumps, it's usually ok. it's just if the car had luggage and 3 other people in that you make a nasty hole in your down pipe

generally though, i'd say 60mm is absolutely fine, especially if you don't encounter many speed bumps. even then, if you go slow it's not usually an issue. if you want a pic to see how low it is let me know i'll see what i can do.

Well speed bumps is all i have around me!!! they've just done em! I was thinking 40's is good?

Would i need to change the whole or part of the exhaust system to get the back box on other side? i do have a 323 lying there so bits not much a problem unless those are rusted also

The 323i system is from a 6 cylinder that has two pipes running all the way through to the back from the engine.

You wont be able to swap that across. but ill bet a custom exhaust shop could sort it out for you easy.
